About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy.

ABOUT ME

Love to share a conversation with people. I prefer the sane ones but it's not an absolute requirement. Crazy people are more or less the same animals as we sane ones are.

I like understanding the inner-workings of unimportant things that most people don't give a crap about; such as life, brain and everything else. So you might notice that I have a tendency to explain WHYs a lot -though it might turn to bullshit talking after serious drinking- e.g.,

Surfer: These feckin' people are so drunk and loud in Dublin!
Evren -sane version: Oh, it's the silly temporal lobe. You know the neurotransmitters that bind to your postsynaptic receptors are actually... (sounds like blah blah blah after this point)
OR
Evren -drunk version: That's the whole point of getting hammered, right? Let's get loud ourselves woohooo!..

PHILOSOPHY

Humans are nothing but big and wise bugs in the nature. We have to enjoy the consequences anyhow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host people from anywhere, my place is right in the city center, 10 mins walking distance from Temple Bar area. Very handy if you're often crawling from pubs back home. So 10 mins is the drunk-walking time, bouncing off the buildings included. Takes 5 mins if you walk like a normal person.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Experienced a wide spectrum of sensations, from non-stop chilled-out conversations to crawling in pubs (i don't bother to mention occasional backflips). All had a common ground though: gotten to know great people.

The most amazing thing is the one that has not happened yet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can exchange ideas indefinitely about a wide range of stuff, from individualistic psychological claptrap to scientific nonsense like the meaning of life.

I can teach basics of self-defense for street survival, to those interested :)
