About Me

Nowadays, I am travelling from Cuba to Patagonia (end of the world). Idea is 15000 km hitchhiking from Mexico to Patagonia. And during that travel I make a camp on the way, try always hitchhiking.

Where I slept on the way?
Pyramid, jungle, cenote, street, beach, gas station, shortly where I found. If you don't spend money for accommodation and transportation, travelling much more possible for everyone but its really hard core and too much effort. Only way that you should enjoy about this kind of travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Help and share, that makes me happy.

Interests

I am a designer. Video recording/editing and photograpy are also my profession. I make video about my travel and record when I have fun, feeling relax or which place makes me happy. It will be one kind of documentary about backpacker, hitchhiker and people on the way. You can be in one part of my documentary :)

And I am blog writer about travelling. In this way maybe I can help someone who afraid about travel by hitchhiking or without money. Maybe somebody can get brave when they see me. Otherwise I ride a motorcycle and make a music with drum. I am trying to play jew's harp, harmonica and juggling(I am travelling with djembe and other stuff). I like music, camping, nature, walking, wine and healty fresh food :) About sport, I have boxing experience, swimming more than 5 years and took 3 medals. I have some medals from running competition too.

One of my dream, walking to Everest from Istanbul.
