About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, make people happy, have good connections, travel and experience as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I'm kind of a person who loves enjoying life by trying to do many things at the same time like working, travelling, discovering and learning. I always try to occupy myself with an activity and to live every minute fully.

One particular thing about me is that I love challenges. In everything I got involved, I have never given up but done my best to reach my aims.

I believe that nothing is impossible in life, if you really want it and do your best to get it. No matter how difficult the things are, there is always a way and life is all about finding it.

I'm also over-active and energetic person. I love doing sports and being in nature. I love all kind of outdoor activities specially cycling, hiking and surfing.

I love contrariness, differences, changes...and of course humour :)

I have an aim of helping all people who are in need and make a positive change in their lives.

PHILOSOPHY

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.

" Either be as you seem or seem as you are "

Love yourself as much as you want to be loved.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love helping people and sharing what I have with others, combining these with my passion to travel and discover made my participation to CS indispensable.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS gave me the opportunity of getting to know many amazing people and going through a life time experience. I surfed quite a lot recent years both alone and with my family. I hosted and met many CSers in Istanbul, now I am hosting in Paris.

I hope that my future experiences will be at least as awesome as the previous ones.

Interests

My passions are : Sports/Travelling/Family and friends

I do sports everyday mostly cycling , swimming and walking.

I really enjoy being in nature, hiking up to mountains, walking around natural parcs and forests.

I'm passionate about surfing so I try to organise surf trips whenever it's possible.

Whenever I am in town, I enjoy a drink with friends, go to movies or for bike ride.

I also like to search for cheap flights/ travel means with different combination of places etc. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a bit of every kind of music except black metal. I love the sounds that go well with my feelings and mood but I give out some names : Led zeppelin, Deep purple would definately be on the list ;)

I love comedies and romance movies as well as dramas ( I'm turkish, can't help it :))

My favorite series are "How I met your mother, Game of Thrones, Lucifer ''

I read french authors like Marc Levy, Guillaume Musso or Elif Shafak from Turkey and quite enjoy it. I also read magazines about travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I actually saw and experienced many amazing things while travelling and I also believe having a special power that pulls all the weird and funny things to me :) My way of doing things is always stressful and has a lot of narrow escapes. Still, I enjoy it a lot !

One of the crazy thing I did was seeing everywhere possible in NYC by walking throughout from Upper West 110 st (right at the end of central park) to the very South of NY in just one day which took me 14 hours of non-stop walking :)

Scuba diving and snorkeling at Great Bareer Reef.

Getting lost in Daintree rainforest and finding some amazing spots at the far north Queensland.

Cycling in London traffic during rush hours.

Surfing in Africa.

Doing Trolltunga hike with my dad.

Canyonnering in Philippines ( jumping from 10 meters)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm kinda a quick learner so I'm willing to learn as much stuff as possible. Mostly cooking traditional foods, differences /similarities between different cultures and useful stuff to survive.

Surfing tips and secret surf spots, I wanna learn it all !:)

This being said, I'm always curious about life and the things that I do not know. It just makes me happy to learn and expand my knowledge.

I can teach some basketball moves, mathematics, Turkish and how to survive in Istanbul :) I also have some board games that we can enjoy some of them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can basically share everything I could ( my food, my bikes, my knowledge)

I can show you around in Maisons-Laffitte and Paris depending on my availability.
