About Me

CURRENT MISSION

South America

ABOUT ME

I'm an active member of CS from the end of 2013. I can say that it changed my mind completely. In the first meeting in Amsterdam that I attended, I had a great time and I decided to start travel from somewhere in the world after meeting with lots of people who travel at that time. I had to quit my job and start to do something different. In 1 year time I was in my dream country; Australia. And I've met and hosted lots of people around the world. I started to believe again there are still some people who help each other, share their ideas for free.

PHILOSOPHY

No Specific Plans.
I like to live spontaneous and to do something at the time decided. It makes me really happy and I feel alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've heard it always but I haven't tried it before Amsterdam CS Weekly Meeting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Normally I had a hostel reservation but in the Cs meeting I met easy going people around the world and we went to the party in Amsterdam after the meeting together. At 4 am of the night, we were walking to stay at Khaled's house with two other people. I was with my luggage all night long:) When I turned back, I hosted 2 guys from Canada and USA in Denizli and I keep going. These guys were hitchhikers who were travelling Turkey. I started to ask questions by myself about what I was doing except to work 8-5 and changed my life

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of them was last minute decision to go to Amsterdam alone, and I met with cs there.

One day in izmir, I was so drunk and I asked my friend we could something different today and started to collect new people who is sitting on the grass. We were just asking them, come and chat with us. We were a circle about 11 people, nobody knew each other:) We had an interesting conversations all night long.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to cook a good cheesecake or traditional Turkish meal. Maybe hot wine if the weather is cold. I love to spend time in the kitchen.
Maybe skateboard if I can do it one day:)
