Overview
About Me
I was born and raised in Istanbul, moved to Milano in 2010 to pursue a master degree in Economics. I returned to Istanbul after 7 years, in 2017 where I am currently working as an export manager in the textile accessories industry.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am here for a very long time -since 2006-, back then CS was not a social media. It has changed a lot since then and changed for the better, eh?
Interests
I am in love with political history and politics and philosophy in general. I love to learn about other cultures, their foods, their way of life and beliefs. I like to talk about history and politics a lot. As a philosophy graduate, I am highly interested in subjects such as human rights, freedom of thought, tolerance etc.
I love doing business! I am an entrepreneur kind of guy and am running few projects for the time being. I would love to share and develop new ideas. Every new person is a new thing.

Music, Movies, and Books
Albert Camus - La Chute
Jean Paul Sartre - L'age de Raison
Every single pieces of materials of Jean Paul Sartre
The Age of Reason has a far different meaning than his other books to me.
I am a die hard Madonna and the Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. Being a bass guitar player myself, i love Flea, i love John Frusciante. I love everything about the 80's, hair metal, synth pop, rap, Jane's Addiction, Guns N Roses etc.
Being a self taught musician, I love a broad range of genres including electronic to disco, funk to punk, rock to rap.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When i was a kid, i was a hardcore astronomy fan and whenever i looked through my telescope, i would see the most amazing things one could have ever seen. I don't think something can come close to the beauty of the Orion Nebula.
