About Me

ABOUT ME

i am working as a psychological counselor in a state-school since 2010.

as many other, i like to listen music, reading books, travelling around, playing sports, just sitting at the seaside, going to dance, drinking an ice-cold beer with friends, walking, observing... anything i can do outside is usually good. still, there are times i really feel lazy and spend whole day at home, especially at the weekdays after work..
usually i am a relaxed and peaceful man.

my eating habit is mostly about turkish cuisine; generally it includes tasteful meat; but i also want to discover new foods and try to love more vegetables

i also like to use psycho-active stuff.

PHILOSOPHY

I do not believe in god. I am an existanialist and humanist. I believe that we shouldn't take the life and ourselves so serious. The best thing we can do is to avoid negative thoughts out of our minds and just try to enjoy moment.
I believe arrogance and "the feeling that we have to be consistent" makes our lives harder.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Bosnia, I was out of money and was looking for someone around in Sarajevo to ask help. I wore my football team's shirt and then a turkish guy just saw me. He was also supporting my football team, I was so lucky. He was also the Bosnian ambassador of CouchSurfing. He wanted to help me because of my shirt, and welcomed me, hosted very well.
After I left Sarajevo next day, I decided to help people like me and started to host them.

I hosted about 40 people in 2011, then I had to do my military service for Turkish Army (it wasn't optional) and gave a break for two years. After I finish my service for army, I came back and rent a new flat.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my music archive, which includes about 2500 albums. but after spotify, nobody downloads mp3’s, i guess. If you like 60s and 70s; I think you'll like it.

My friends think that I am a good cook, maybe I can help you by cooking.

I would like to learn how to play an instrument.
And also I like to learn to cook different foods.
Besides anything you can tell me about your travelling experiences will make me happy.
