About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise.
Henry David Thoreau

ABOUT ME

I live in Istanbul, close to the city center (Taksim Square) in European side. I am generally an active person who loves sports climbing, trail running, rowing, walking, bird watching, camping... I love being out with nature...the mountains, rocks particularly but also the seaside.

I was in Malta in 2011. I worked in NGO which is called Nature Trust Malta. After a year I back to Turkey. All of my CS experiences were in Malta.

PHILOSOPHY

Being in nature. Love is everything. We are all one
Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I enjoy host people but I prefer do surfing. My best surf was in Sicily. Ottavio hosted me in Catania and Andrea in Trapani. They made me feel like a Sicilian. I'm so happy that met with them. When I think of my memories in Sicily I always smile and feel wonderful.
