ABOUT ME

I have been working as a psychological counselor in public schools since 2010.

Like many people, I like to listen to music, read books, travel, walk around, sit by the sea or in parks, and sit down with friends over a cold beer in the evening. In fact, it can be said that I like many activities, provided that they are outside.
I still prefer to stay at home from time to time; There may be days when I prefer to be lazy and focus on cooking. Especially if I'm tired during the week, my chances of staying at home increase.

I like to eat. Apart from Turkish cuisine, I like Italian and French cuisines. I am also interested in Far Eastern cuisine. I like to discover new dishes or restaurants.

I am also interested in psychoactive substances.

PHILOSOPHY

I have been interested in existentialism as philosophy for a very long time and felt close to it.

In general, I think people take themselves too seriously and this stems from arrogance.
I think if we look at things more simply, we will have fewer problems and we can stay in the moment and enjoy the moment more easily.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had no money left in Bosnia and I was looking for someone to ask for help in Sarajevo. I was wearing my football team's jersey and a Turk just saw me. He was also supporting my football team, I was very lucky. He was also CouchSurfing's Bosnian ambassador. He wanted to help me becauseof my shirt and hosted me very nicely.
After leaving Sarajevo the next day, I decided to help people like me and started hosting them.

In 2011, I hosted nearly 40 people, then I had to do my military service in the Turkish Army (it was not optional) and took a two-year break. After completing my military service, I came back and rented a new apartment.

During my 4 years of marriage, I could not host many people.
I have been welcoming people back since 2021.
I had a small house for a while, but now I have a house that can accommodate 2 or 3 people.
