About Me

Hi Everybody. I am from Istanbul in Turkey. I’ ve spent at least half of my living abroad so i consider myself very well traveled but i still get out as much as i can. My friends say im funny and re charge them with energy ;) I have lots of enthusiasm for travel, meeting people, experiences, and life in general! Im very considerate of others.I have lots of motivation to lead and inspire others to (safely) push themselves to limits of adventure and inner discovery. I am very easy going adn love to meet other travlers and share stories. I turthfully try tol ive life to the fullest and I am frequently out doing something fun. Whether wind surfing, scuba diving, tennis, rock climbing etc. And one more last thing I love all animals. Specially my dog daisy )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try to be as honest and as open as I can with everyone I meet. I do my best to share what I have even if it's just positive energy or comic relief. I have a 2 bedroom apartment with some couch space for my guests. I like to show people around if I don't have space or if they don't need a host but could benefit from having a local as a guide, or even just to give some tips. I like to give advice on Transportation, where to go, free museums, best ways to find an affordable sublet if needed or even if you're thinking of moving here.

Interests

I love live music,movies,great food,play tennis, windsurfing,soccer, of course travelling too much. Close with my family and core group of friends, but regularly disappear into the world of travel where I meet new friends, that I can consider 'family'
It is always greatly exciting to meet, share ideas, emotions, experience, thoughts. I'm positive and open-minded person,
I love interesting conversations, new impressions and all bright colours of life. Would love to meet new people, communicate and make new friends on all over the globe!

Music, Movies, and Books

I can listen to just about anything that is complex and well made, however most of the time i listen to reggae or techhouse/deephouse. As far as movies, I love a good comedy or drama or adventure film or pretty much anything as long as the acting and story line is on point. Most films are made here so there's always something to watch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Let me please, something has to be secret :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Weather you think you can, or think you can't.. you are right.
I believe in doing what I think is right, because we will all be judged anyway. Life is a celebration and should be viewed and treated as such!
