About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making life much more fun and valuable by omitting the boundaries and as much as possible,seeing many different cultures and many different people, learning a new thing from a person and feeling that life has still a meaning despite all the controversies.

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going guy trying to catch a balance between establishing a regular life and trying to savour the life as much as possible. I am an IT (information tech)consultant at a bank which doesnt offer a very exciting and dynamic life as one can imagine:) But i am still trying to love my job and my colleagues and even the life and standards in Turkey though it is not that easy to cope with if you especially have some problems with life,inequalities and discrimination issues existing in the country. I am really open to travel any bit of the world -though i still suppose i have not been to a huge portion of it-, getting to know new people,learning everyday, experiencing every new moment and etc.. Regarding these facts, i find this website a miracle, a lovely dream which cause the borders become meaningless fulfilling the ideas in my mind at the very best level.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't bu sure that you know and experienced everything till you meet another person and step on a bit of soil you have never stepped upon!

I live life still to encounter new surprises..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I actually participated the web site like 5 years ago. I actively hosted many guests from all over the world while living in Istanbul between 2010-2014.Seeing many of my friends hosting a wide range of different people and having great time with their guests and at the same time hearing stories how they are well hosted and had great time with their hosts; i told myself "i would also be grateful to do that by the way! :)."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted many guests all over the world living in Istanbul between 2010-2014. I moved to Berlin in 2015 permanently. I have been still discovering the city and people and have really exciting experiences. I felt the urge on myself to participate couch surfing practices again in Berlin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One in my life in Amsterdam, there was this lady at her 80s-90s on a wheel chair.. She was brought by the side of the river by probably her daughter -or any relatives. She was watching the river with her eyes closed, she opened her both arms as if to hug the wind, she was feeling the soft wind oscilatting over the river towards her sitting on her wheel chair on the river canal. She seemed to be so in peace with her eyes closed and giving such a gift as a scne for me.

The second amazing thing in my life was -believe in or not- watching a mother cat giving births to her babies.(Dont be afraid this was not my cats, i have only two cats:):))

Teach, Learn, Share

People who have travelling experience or gaining eagerness to explore, learn and experience new things. People who have purified themselves out of any kind of othering behaviours, people who like laughing and listening at the same time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experience and good chat;) and lots of laughter possibly -hopefully :)
