About Me

✨ Hi! I am Doğuş. Some call me Dodo.

On my journey on Planet Earth, I experience life in various areas coming from the way of my heart, and by the inspiration I find and feel in living, I create my own existence story here. ✨

After many years of experience and defining., I've finally arrived at a place where I'd like to describe myself only as a student, and a unique light on Earth. Because, for me, the absolute truth in this journey is to be “a student throughout life".

I experience being a Medical Doctor. Along with that, I experience being a Backpacker, Songwriter and Musician, Poet, TED Speaker, ICF Mindfulness and Transformation Coach, Meditation Tutor/Facilitator, and Energy Medicine Practitioner in my life.
Through experiencing life in various fields, I get chances to go deep into life’s different parts, extract the essences, learn many things profoundly, and find, feel connections everywhere. I love this special way of my life and I love following the way of my heart.

One of the most important things in my life is living as the expression of my soul, my true self, and experiencing my truth by living it.

I always felt like I was born to be on the road. I felt like I was born to run from adventure to adventure, to discover the new, and to experience the deep pleasure of being on the road, being alive.
I started backpacking at the age of 19. In these 11 years, I have made rough, and unique journeys in Europe, Africa, and Asia in nearly 40 countries. I've traveled by hitchhiking in most of the countries.
I met hundreds of people and had the craziest adventures. Besides, I'm in love with Nordic countries, especially Iceland. I've been to Iceland three times and planning to visit more.

Jack Kerouac and the Beat Generation inspired me a lot to shine and move this special light within me.

In 2015, I created a project called “A Tea With 10,000 People” in which I travel around the world, meet new people, and share their stories with the world.
Beyond having a beautiful adventure, and meeting inspirational people; the purpose was spreading the sense of "being human on this planet", inspiration in people, and love.

In the journey of the project, I received a worldwide reaction and love in a short time, and I received invitations from more than 140 countries. Later, I was featured in the media of different countries. I met more than two thousand people with the project, so many inspiring people.

A Tea With 10.000 People is still going on and growing. And it will continue to have a legendary place in my life with its holistic contribution to my life.

I make music. I write songs and compose them. Music is a very valuable place for me where I have a deep and direct connection with life. By connecting with my voice, instrument, and music, I dwell into a deep journey and I connect the essence of life, finding the deep and pure light.
I also love using music as a source of healing and singing healing songs.

Some of my songs published:
Bir Yeryüzü Şarkısı

I'm really into poetry and literature. I've published two poetry books so far.

Since 2015, I've been giving public speeches and TED Talks. I've given three official TED Talks and many other speeches.

My TED Talks, you can find the ones with subtitles as well.

Rainbow Gatherings, Rainbow Children of Love & Light are one of the places where I feel belonged the most in this world.
Since 2016, I’ve been joining the Rainbow Gatherings in various parts of the world, and I experience living together in love, healing, and sharing. Through these connections and experiences, I find deep inspiration to raise the frequency and light of the world as a Rainbow warrior.
All the Rainbow Warriors together, we travel the world and work to raise the frequency, to increase and spread the light and love in the world.
The Rainbow children are my family and I will always be very happy to be a part of them.

I practice medicine as a medical doctor. But at the same time, I approach healing as a holistic process. That's why I also practice meditation, mindfulness, bioenergy, and shamanic healing. Whenever I participate in or touch someone's spiritual or healing journey, I feel great joy and feel like I have touched the essence of life in my heart.

Also, I'm deeply interested in the personal growth and transformation journeys of humans.
Last thing but not least, I know almost everything about Harry Potter. I just love it so much.

This is my journey.
I create my unique story in this beautiful and unique journey of mine.
This is my story.
This is a story of passing from a planet.
✨🤎

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think I first joined Couchsurfing when I was 19. It's been quite some time and when I look back to all of the experiences, I clearly see that couchsurfing has changed my perception of humans. I've met super-nice, super-interesting, super-inspiring people through here. I've gotten lots of lots of help everywhere. For me, Couchsurfing's been a school of teaching what the sharing really means in this world. Sometimes we tend to forget what we live, what we experience on Earth but whenever I look at this profile and couchsurfing, I remember my fantastic experience about sharing and beauty of humans.
