I'm an academic in the school of medicine in Istinye University, Istanbul. I usually go to work around 9 or 10 and get out late again. But I use Friday and Saturday nights to have fun for all week. So, even though my home is within my eyesight, it is usually empty.
People think about me as a very cheerful, funny and friendly person. They don't know I am a part-time superhero at nights.
I'am willing to meet new people from all around the world.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I like the guests and my friends come to me to stay all the time. I heard about CS from my friends. I have a spare room in my apartment. I've decided to use that extra room for meeting new people from all over the world.

- Night safari in Singapore

Insegna, impara, condividi

I do teach Embryology and Stem Cell Biology along with Anthropology, Human evolution and Astrophysics (Yeah. All of them).
I also learn everything that I teach cause science never stops evolving. I love to learn about people, their experiences, world view, and countries.
Teaching is sharing what you have.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I can offer a room with a wide coach. They can eat whatever food I have. I can also share a long good conversation and experiences along with my friendship :)
