Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is great time of my life because I am re-exploring my self by visiting new places, meeting with new people and listening their experiences.

I am on Couchsurfing because while I am travelling, I want to see the real character of the cities by staying in local people's houses. Moreover, staying people's house also good for my pocket since I am a student. I prefer to buy a drink to my host rather than paying ridiculous amount of moneys to the hostels. By the way, I also hate become a part of capitalist order :))

Interests

My head is confused, many things sound interesting for me. When I am full of energy, I love making sports like boxing, swimming but I also love to chilling under the sun by listening good music and talking with my friends about many things like philosophy. Besides, I don't like staying in a place too much so I love travelling and meeting with new people; it broadens my mind. For me it is really exciting to explore new places, cultures, foods, drinks and people...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It may be funny for someone who haven't experienced but once after I ate the magic truffles, I fall in love with nature. I coalesce with it. It was an amazing experience because I've discovered many colours that I even don't know the existence and made a lot of good friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am wiling to learn new cultures and explore new musics. I cannot promise but I may help you to destroy your prejudices.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my foods, dreams, money, day, night, bed. Simply, I can share everything but most importantly, I can share my smile and the experiences of my life.
