CURRENT MISSION

living an ordinarily extra-ordinary life!

ABOUT ME

I'm living in Germany since August 2011.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to know more about the world and people. To achieve this aim, traveling is the best compass. Although I don't have and use a compass, I believe that losing my way can be a chance to discover new things. I have traveled all over Turkey and I won't give up. Let's give it a try to Germany :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I heard the name of CS and its aims, I couldn't easily believe that there can be such a wonderful organization.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
I read whatever Haruki Murakami writes.
Herman Hesse and Franz Kafka were my favorite authors when I was in high school. Now, it's Murakami.
I like Kurt Vonnegut's style.
I am looking forward to the next books of Scarlett Thomas & Steven Hall.

Music :
I really wished that I could appreciate great music. Unfortunately my ears are not capable/trained. I rather enjoy gypsy music. I listen to Fishtank Ensemble, Luminescent Orchestrii, Goran Bregovic, Mercedes Sosa, Yeni Türkü, Ezginin Günlü
