About Me

When I was a kid, I used to climb the small hill in my hometown and look at the sea and dream about discover the world. However, I should wait for my first abroad trip until 18 years old. During my first trip to Vienna, my English was terrible, literally, I used a dictionary to make some conversation but it was fun I made many friends just in a one-week hostel stay.

After all, I really loved travelling unconsciously in a foreign country. It was a strange experience which I didn’t have before. It was amazing, that time I got addicted to travelling. During my university study, trust me I didn’t stay the same place for more than 3 months. When I finished university, I had visited 30+ countries. Until now, I had visited 50 countries. It is not about the number but it keeps me motivated. =) Actually, the most important thing the memories you collect.

Nowadays, I can’t travel as much as before. Because I try to establish a new life in Australia. When I am done, I will hit the road again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hostels are great places, however, if you want to know the city from local eyes. You should stay at or meet with local. That's why ı use Couchsurfing. I stayed in parlament member villa next to the Vatican. I celebrate Chinese new year at host custom party. I joined a private pub crawl for only locals in Estonia. And many more If I stayed just in hostel probably I would never get a chance for kind of experiences. That's why I love CS

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking 3 months around Europa without stop. I convinced my friend to travel with me and we started the hitchhiking story. We had travelled to maybe more than 12.000 km, 16 country and 37 cities. It was great with a good companion. I really enjoy every moment of that trip. even stuck in dark countryside, make camp in watermelon farm, and eat them =)
