northwest Malaysia connectionnnnn?
Going from Ranong to Perak, Terengganu and Pahang next week 🛸

Humble nomad hitchhiker, polyglot, recently also street dancer. I live by moving from place to place, sometimes going 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. هیچ جا مثل هرمز نابو. I was going from Algeria to Armenia to Afghanistan on land and sea. Before that i was between Portugal, Egypt, the Caucasus, Persia, Mesopotamia and especially Anatolia for 3 years totally 🌄 volunteering in hostels, being part of communities, 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. Would you teach me another language, that'll be the eighth to learn. Deep inside i feel much more Near-Eastern than western european. The nomad travelers from the region have inspired me and changed me while living in Istanbul before becoming a wanderer. Luckily, i don't carry dark 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 CSers to 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
🌌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 may also use a different Google account to access the community, preferably based around here).
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 to just keep editing your profile and reply messages. This happened to me after changing from Iran to Georgia.
I'm writing this as Couchsurfing updated their yearly subscription to 23$ and monthly to 6$ in January 2025 / 1403 Dey, even for users in Turkey who used to pay 5 down to 1$ (me) in 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.
Curiously, verification never changed the fee, making it cheap for some countries with high inflation (11$ in Turkey!).

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, 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, 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 should ask me 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, some french, spanish and turkish (improving them while travelling), some basics of persian and egyptian arabic;
↪how to start and run a simple m impacting travelling social media project - as a content creator
↪how to plan a cultural exchange or an event - as i used to be president of the only association at my former department for 3 years

🌬️ Now (2025) i can also share my experience about being a non-individualist street artist outside Europe

➡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

我可以与沙发主分享些什么
