I think life is too short to fight for something. I can be friends with someone quickly if he/she has something new and interesting.

IMPORTANT
We/I prefer hosting people who have hosted and surfed equally. If you have used CS only as a surfer and haven't hosted guests equally, we will politely reply, "We/I am not home at that time."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

01st Dec 2022
During my stay in Prague, I met local people, attended some meetups with travellers

07th Dec. 2018
I am back in Turkey. I plan to meet interesting hosts and travellers.

August 2015. During our travel to Italy, Jeremy and Fecerica in Italy and Luigi and Maria in Brindisi hosted us. They were good days.

April 2013. I met Susane, Emily and Lucia in Mallorca. We rode around Palma with Susane. We joined a CS night with Emily and had a delicious dinner with Lucia.

27th Mar. 2013 I hosted Z as a last-minute couch. I have felt the happiness of helping someone. And It was nice to meet a clubber Chinese-American guy.

15th Mar. 2013 I hosted Bülent for 2 nights. Bulent was coming from my hometown. I couldn't miss that chance.

10th Mar. 2013 I have helped Habibe. I have helped Habibe to find a host. We ate delicious lunch together. I have learnt a lot about travelling

1st Mar. 2013 I hosted Khristina And Mira. I supported them in their tap dance contest. Indeed I wonder what they did. I gotta write and ask.

14th oct. 2012, Stuttgart
I have just set up a new life in Stuttgart. Now I am exploring. And I need friends to discover and set up a new life

25th of September 2012. We have hosted Emily, Mike and their two lovely sons. We wish they stayed more.

15th of August 2012. Hakan and Adem. They do not know how to send couch requests but ok :)

10th of October 2011. We hosted Nika and Isabelle. We try to heal them. Get well soon.

June, July, and August 2011. I helped Manisha to find a job in Turkey. We worked together in the summer.

May 2011. We hosted Anna and Alex. Two Portuguese riders. And we rode :)

May 2011. I spent time with Noah. We watched a comic Turkish movie related to American history. It was a different taste. He can play football.(normal Football)

9th of March. We are waiting an italian couple with whom I will never speak english. Only italian. 11th of March: Era il piacere passare il tempo con loro. Abbiamo parlato italiano molto. Mi piacere. Loro sono molto gentile.

3-4th March 2011 We hosted a Greek friend, Chronis. first time in my life I have talked so much, about politics, religion, and social issues. And I took pleasure. He was my soul mate. And Also first time I found someone who is very close to my mind and philosophy.

1st March 2011. We hosted two French riders. I felt myself a little rock in their travel universe. I think It was our luck to meet those who are travelling all around the world by bicycle.

2 February 2011. I hosted Joo, a Chinese spy. I was abused by her. She got every piece of information she needed. But Happy about it.

28-29 Jan 2011. I hosted Koo, Celine and Jo. A Malaysian couple and a Chinese. they were so kind, funny, and lovely. Everything was good except they always speak Chinese. But it was also good, Now I can imitate like I can speak Chinese. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen amazing couchsurfers :) And I saw that nationality, skin colour, face shape, religion dont make people come together, the inside of hearts make people come together. I have seen my soulmates in different physical apperances. that was amazing :)

Teach, Learn, Share

(In Turkey)
Teach/Share: I can take u to my class, And You can administer a speaking class.
You can help me practise my Italian, Russian, and German.
If it is summertime, we can go seaside and do some beach activities.
I can cook Turkish food for u, and you can cook yours for us.

(16 Jan. 2011) That wasn't my aim but Usually CSurfers expressed that they liked to meet with a Turkish Family. Cause they say, they usually stay with single students. So Meeting with a Turkish family can be a different taste if you haven't experienced any so far.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook.
I can talk about travel, psychology,
