About Me

I'm just another ordinary guy who likes to travel - on his motorcycle - whenever he can. Though not being a fan of the most expensive, I like good food, fine drinks and I'm fairly open to new experiences.

Very much interested in getting to know new people, finding out twisty motorcycle roads, peaceful places to hike and take photos/videos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me:
I like getting to know new people and learn about the places I visit from the locals. Would like to learn about your country, culture, food and good tips about where to visit next.

For You:
I'll, surely, try to be a nice host and direct you to the places I like to be, things I like to do. I might stick around with you if I have time and if you would like me to do so.

Also If you are a rider, I believe I can give good tips about some of the best routes in Western Turkey. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I mainly listen to Progressive Rock, and some Jazz but adore Disco even Electronic music as well:
Pain of Salvation, The Beatles, EST, Tool, Megadeth, Moloko, Radiohead, Iron Maiden, are some I love.

I like watching movies but I am completely incapable of keeping the directors and actresses/actors in my mind:
Snatch, Big Lebowski, Star Wars Ep. 4-5-6, Moon, LOTR, Watchmen, Inglorious Basterds are good examples.

I read Science Fiction & Fantasy mostly and I read comics often. Books on politics, philosophy, sociology and psychology are often bought but not read. At least for a long time...
Robotech, Dune, Earthsea Quartet, The Vampire Chronicles, The Dispossesed are some of my favourites

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Right now I'm on a long motorcycle trip of South and North America with two of my buddies and we will be on the road for about a year. I think that counts! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the fundamentals of photography and maybe sketching if interested. I can certainly talk about some of the few contemporary artists I adore.

I would like to learn about the milestones of other countries' history, anything that I may not learn from a travel book or a blog post, and any personal favorites if there are any.

I will share my experiences, good times, silly conversations and perhaps booze even.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I might be interested in short video/photography projects if we both have time. Definitely stories about the places I have visited, people I've got to know.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Peru, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Uruguay
