ABOUT ME

I am really not sure how to describe myself. You should ask my friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I simply try to live in the moment. Not so easy, but I try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I had already slept on a lot of couches before I had ever heard of couchsurfing. I have only met a few people through couchsurfing but they were all great.

Interests

Mostly I enjoy playing music. I play ney (Turkish and Arabic flute)and guitar (mostly Flamenco) I also enjoy listening to music, talking politics, sight-seeing, talking philosophy or metaphysics, reading books, meditating and spending time in nature. Sometimes I like to do arts and crafts, like basket weaving, leather working and candle making.
