Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I’m abroad, I sometimes need a couch for sleeping or a room for accommodation, friends for hanging out and showing me around their city.

I give a helping hand to people who come to Turkey in the same way how people help me abroad . So don’t hesitate to text me. But if you want to send a request, start your message with ‘hey shaggy’. That’s how I know you read my profile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hitchhiked and gone to 800 kilometres away from my home which was for nothing.

I have ridden my motorbike 1000 km in less than 24 hours. Next day I couldn't stand up and slept all day.

2 years dynamic travel in Southeast Asia.

In India and Vietnam I have been on tv :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you basic self defence techniques, how to play backgammon , basic photo and video editing tips , how to play ukulele and harmonica.

For the ‘learn' section... Now, it’s your turn :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My curiosity about the world and people,

Funny things that have happened in my life,
