Cameron Highlands, Malaysia connectionnnnn? 🛸
Now I'm volunteering at a hostel in Tanah Rata for 2 weeks, if you see me on Hangouts we can go hitchhike and explore Pahang region, spend 1-2 days in nature. We can also have a lazy meetup in town 🏞️

Humble nomad hitchhiker, artist, polyglot, recently also street dancer

Living by slowly moving from place to place every few weeks or months, sometimes back to the same ones to discover new contexts in different seasons

Last warm winter i was doing hippie life on Hormoz island in Iran. Including being a street performer in the Rainbow Valley and Valley of the Statues, overlooking the nowadays famous Strait of Hormuz 🚢 هیچ جا مثل هرمز نابو
While flowing there I was going from Algeria to Armenia to Afghanistan on land and sea. Before that (january 2024) i was between Portugal, Egypt, the Caucasus, Persia, Mesopotamia and especially Anatolia for 3 years totally 🌄 volunteering in hostels, being part of conscious communities and art spaces, backpacking

You can call me on the phone +60 195 628 689 📞 or wait for me to connect on telegram +39 389 10 75 666 🗨️

I speak intermediate turkish, french, spanish, still beginner at Farsi and Arabic, while i can teach english and italian.
Long long time with russian speaking hitchhikers, time to learn Russian!
Would you teach me another language, that'll be the ninth to learn. Deep inside i feel much more west-asian than western-european and most people i talk to say so as well. The nomad travelers from the region have inspired me and changed me while living in Istanbul. Since the end of pandemic I've witnessed overtourism around me and i feel so lucky to have started when very few travelers were around, loooots of consideration for us. Luckily, i don't carry dark, heavy vibes from big city life, my natural attitude is soft and non-hierarchic. This helped hundreds of souls feel safe and welcomed around me.
Family connectionnnnn 🏕️

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

#KimseSokaktaKalmasın - don't leave anyone in the street. This is what they teach in Turkey, where more than 100 different people hosted me within 6 adventures 1.5 year long totally.

As long as I'll be available, I'll host or help you find a host.
It has become a lifestyle. Meet-up here, event there tonight, hangouts tomorrow, new host tomorrow night, new travel buddy one week later. And so on.

As a guest, especially for longer stays
and as a volunteer, i aim to be part and improve the local, expat and travelers' communities, helping my hosts and mates create new friendships rather than focus on a face-to-face guest-host sedentary experience. When possible, i host guests and events while staying somewhere longer. So far: İzmir, Kutaisi, İsfahan, Isparta, Siwa, Sousse, Hormoz have been the cities i put more effort on this purpose.

[Writing a 1000 characters reference for everyone i meet] ✍

🥗[Being some hosts' first guest and other members' first meet-up/hangout, in order to start their CS activity and make their profiles reliable]

[Improving CSers' activity by writing an impacting profile for them. Creating new profiles - about 10 so far]🍰

🥁[Helping out CSers manage a busy inbox, choose their guests, hosts and meet-ups, making them feel safer by reading through second purpose offers]

My inbox looked pretty busy back in summer 2021. I couldn't believe that adding ten public trips would have created so many interactions and adventures. What i suggest those who send hospitality requests - create "public trips", in order to be invited to stay, meet-up or even travel together! I travelled just by accepting invitations for 1.5 year straight. Always be detailed and positive.

Two very straight suggestions for an adventure free of expectations
🌌keep your number of references lower than 50
🧺accept invitations by *trustworthy* hosts without references

💵🤑🫰🏽💴CouchSurfing💷💶🏧🧾

People registered in this region of the world still don't have to pay for Couchsurfing, I'm very happy with that. If you are travelling here, you paid but your monthly/yearly subscription is expiring soon, then i suggest cancelling it and change your home location into a country where they don't have to pay.
You will see the paywall and the "Skip" button, so skip and use it for free.
If you do that and later you change your profile location to a country where they pay, you will immediately see the paywall, which means you'll have to pay again to just keep editing your profile and reply messages. This happened to me after changing it from Iran to Georgia.
I'm writing these 2 paragraphs while in Iran, as Couchsurfing updated their yearly subscription to 23$ and monthly to 4-6$ in January 2025 / 1403 Dey, even for users in Turkey who used to pay 5 down to 1$ (me) yearly for the past 4 years. So I'm truly sure the community will become more and more spoiled by flirters and wealthy, mainstream travelers / hosts, along with AI used to write down profiles and references, making 2025 the most boring year especially in those world regions where users must pay. Verification never changed the fee, making it cheap for some countries with high inflation.

🤗I'd rather offer 1 month of Couchsurfing membership to 4 new members per year and make the community wider than paying again and again for myself. When i find a new place to host, I'll definitely change my home location and pay accordingly. That's why i've kept my home location in free countries like Egypt now that I'm just a guest 🫲🏽🫱🏽

We should be hospitable like in some regions, where you just walk and get invited by locals.

兴趣

Changing my previous interests, after 4 months in the best city of the world back in 2020: İstanbul.

...and now i live in a coconut tree, it's good, it's good, it's good to be free...

Learning to survive and making plans day by day. Trying to host people and events wherever i go, bringing good vibed, smiley souls together.

I've been happier and more outgiving since i have started to live on a very tight budget, some days even without money. This is a way to be grateful for all the help i've got by wonderful souls I've met while travelling a small slice of mother earth by hitchhiking and public transports 🏜️
Some choices are keeping me on the way so long. Never smoked a cigarette and never tried chemical drugs in my life. Never paid to smoke. Spent entire seasons without drinking any alcohol and eating any meat, bought only beer and wine, only accepted little tastings of traditional liqueurs. I haven't cooked any meat and i haven't eaten at restaurants in Europe since 2019. Avoiding processed food, white sugar.

2023 update: I don't eat small overpriced food anymore. Just food prepared to share.

音乐、电影和书籍

➡Dancing in the streets
İt might be late to write i'm addicted to bass music (electronic music sub-genres) and oldschool hip hop, so let's discover every kind of genre. Please let me listen yours and take me to clubs, pubs, festivals.
Or just to dance in the streets, attend juggling shows and spread arts.
Please mind that when i mention "nightlife", i'm definitely the opposite kind of person than an annoying party-animal. In nightlife, i see creativity, harmony, love, people working, people connecting each other and changing their lives.

Books of contemporary history. I always forget my books somewhere, so if i don't, you will have one of them!

Movies make me sleep, i need to go out. We can watch them outside.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Turned no engine on since i've been around, cleaned-up one or more beaches on each sea and lake i've visited, volunteered 3 months in the main hostel of İzmir, helped Sudanese refugees practice their english near Cairo, travelled Algeria for 2 months including the south autonomously, been hosted by 10 different people within 13 days in the same city, Van in 2021. I hosted around 30 artists and travellers in Hormoz island, Iran within 2 months, which is more than I've done in Turkey, Georgia, Egypt and Italy altogether 🛋️

As I don't believe in borders nor nationalities, i like to go close to some borders, hitchhike nearby, look at and feel like having been inside those countries.

You can ask me for the other ones and make me live the next ones ▶

教，学，和分享

One day, i'll write a long list of skills here. At the moment, i can teach you:
🍠english and italian fluently, french, spanish and turkish (improving them while travelling), some basics of Persian and egyptian or standard Arabic
🦎how to start and run a simple impacting travelling social media project - as a former content creator. Actually i gave up in 2023
🍊how to plan a cultural exchange or an event since i used to be president of the only association at my former department for 3 years
🫕basics of Ayurveda, especially what to eat depending on your personality

🌬️ Now (2026) i can also share my experience as a non-individualist street artist in West Asia (south Iran, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey and Kurdistan) and Malaysia. No privileged currencies in the Magic Hat 🥁🎩

➡and how to escape standard studying/working life.

Learning: i remind of people for what skill or philosophy i've been learning from them, so feel free of teaching me some stuff :)

Can't actually remind the last chance of not sharing i had
