CURRENT MISSION

Stay local stay happy. I don't want to be a normal tourist at the places I go. I want to feel like I know somethings local there or at least know the people who are living there and explore their style of living.

ABOUT ME

I am Industrial Engineer who owns a software development company in Istanbul. I like to be in different places to meet with different cultures and people. So I try travel a lot :) I was working in London last year and I was hosting people from airbnb at my flat to meet and share my experiences with them it was so much fun. I was not using couchsurfing but I want to change this and host people from here now on. I like to stay happy and energetic. I have a lot of friends in different parts of the world and I want to have more :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short and we should spend our time with knowing more people and sharing time with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not yet but I really want to have because I think this is not an accommodation app but an experience platform.

Interests

I like doing sports like skiing, football, swimming and running. I like dancing and I can do Arjantin Tango. :) Because I like meeting new people I like to talk about cultures, people, politics and staff like that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I teach primary school students who are not as lucky as me because they could not afford to go to a private schools or take extra courses. I think it is not fare that some of the students can get more opportunity then others and they could not be as successful as them because of that so I tried my best and had a lot of little friends :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

In Turkish culture when you go someones home first time you bring a gift. :)
