MY PHILOSOPHY
 “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ― Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I Can Share with Hosts

Pictures and good memories.
Turkish language knowledge.
If you have garden, kids or dirty dishes I am very happy to help.
I love home made food and cooking, but to be honest when I am traveling I try to eat as cheap as possible, like noodles or fruits etc. If I have energy, time and money I would love to make pasta with pesto etc. for you.
I can show funny pictures of my cats as well!
