Overview
About Me
Update : I'm married to my beautiful wife and now we're travelling together. More about her later...
CURRENT MISSION
Dream it (this is what i generally do) , sacrifice for it ( I'm working on it ) and make it come true ( hmm let me take a coffee while dreaming:))
ABOUT ME
What does one define himself with? I have dreams like living a more creative life, travelling through Alaska one day and living in Siberia for a while,being able to communicate in many languages. I love having people around me and exchanging stories and chatting and joking and laughing. I enjoy listening to good music, especially live concerts. I love watching movies .I have been travelling since twelve years as a tour guide to make a living and have met hundreds of new people every year from USA,Australia,NZ, and Canada and made good friends. I am trying to figure out a new way of life that i love ,a new challenge that will enrich my life and soul...
PHILOSOPHY
Of course it matters what you're seeing when you're travelling , but it s more about the people that you meet while you re travelling. And also travelling must change something in you about how you look to the life and the world around you.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would very much like to meet new friends, and have a cup of coffee and chat. It would be fantastic to share ideas and stories. I wouldn't say no, if you have also a couch available:))

Music, Movies, and Books
Arthur Hailey's "Airplane. Hotel, Wheels, In high places" were great, and as soon as possible i ll read his other books. Also i love Hemingway's style, especially in "For whom the bells toll" ..Trevanian's Shibumi was excellent.And i recommend you to read " 40 rules of love" by Elif Safak.
Back to the Future, Rocky, Godfather, Dances with wolves, Bourne, Illusionist, The island, Run Lola run, Im Juli, Amistad, 12 Monkeys were some of the movies that i liked to watch.
As for music i like Turkish pop and rock, and jazz. You should search these names : Jehan Barbur, Julide Ozcelik.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I woke up and came out of my tent on the top of the snow covered mountain ,I was breathless seeing that there was nothing else to see but a sea of fogs.
