About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go everywhere, meet everybody! Be aware and alive!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and do whenever I can manage, but can not lately since I started working. I've been to most of Europe, but still got blanks to fill in:)
I enjoy playing tennis, cycling and skiing.

PHILOSOPHY

to be an Earth citizen, to embrace every people of every culture. To learn something from anything. To be aware and alive!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I plan to host CSers since I can not travel very much these days. I hope to meet new people from around the world as I used to do when I was still studying (oh, beautiful days!)
I may also be finding some time to travel abroad and stay at other CSers in the near future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a Brazilian guy, 2 German ladies, 1 German guy and then 2 French ladies, an Irish-Australian couple, a German couple, an American lady and a Polish guy. Having a great start at my CS career full of fun and entertainment already!

Interests

I am interested in history and politics, I read a lot on those subjects although I have a technical background as an engineer. I practice sports as much as I have time to. Travelling and dining are also my favourites in life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many music, but to give an example of average Esen playlist: Moby, Radiohead, Coldplay.
Too many books, but: 1984, Brave New World, and all the Lonely Planets I read so far:)
Not so many movies, sorry for that, trying to catch up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have done is skiing cross country in Spatind, Norway. There's no way to describe that one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give information on the Turkish and Ottoman history. I can also teach chemistry and chemical engineering aspects but don't think anyone would enjoy that.
I can also teach playing tennis, riding a bike and skiing.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Cyprus, Egypt, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, San Marino, Sweden, Syrian Arab Republic, United Kingdom, Vatican City State

Countries I’ve Lived In
