I'm a guy who spent a number of years on the move - for fun, for work, for money, to volunteer, to learn, to experience and to see - usually on low budget. Now settled down a bit more, working as an English teacher in a Turkish middle school, living with a Nigerian girl who stubbornly claims to be my wife, enjoying all the new bits of little stabilization and switching from 'mostly guest' to 'mostly host' mode.
Yosi, as mentioned above, comes from the country of Nigeria, works as a doctor and a part time musican and plans to specialize in children psychiatry. She's deep into politics and race issues, likes talking about medicine stuff and DIY'ing home decor or clothes. She can kill you with Nigerian hot pepper and doesn't enjoy random questions about her hair (seriously, just leave it alone).
Me. I like changes. I like reaching boundaries and getting exhausted. I'm usually up for any sort of unconventional action to remember. Spontanious, eventhough more intro- than extrovertic. Occasionally nerdy, having fun getting into emotional arguments on more or less insignificant stuff.
I am a bit of an idealist; believing in God, love that is powerful and our obligation to do good in life that's too unpredictable for any closed system of rules.
Think that's it.
Evet, Türkçe konuşabiliriz,

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's free and I like free stuff. Free food is what I like the most, but CS is ok too.

Interests

Always interested in all of the cultural-political-sociological aspects of the place I'm in/my guest comes from.
I've done a lot of street performing, fire and circus stuff, living statue'ing, soap bubbles etc. (a good way to get some money during travelling) and I'm happy to share some tricks & tips. I like learning new languages - even just a bit of it, basic rules, differences, similarities. Always up for good music, concerts, clubs, movies and (this one is even always-always) good food.
Chess. Basics of playing the didgeridoo. Thai boxing. Sport in general.

I'm generally more into popular (and not) science literature, so lots of stuff on politics, economics, anthropology, linguistics, history and philosophy I'm too lazy to list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I ate an amazing steak in a restaurant in Cracov. You wouldn't believe how good it was.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share languages. Music. (ya, bring your music with you!). All culinary habits. Knowlegde, experience, time. And beer.
Teach - juggling-circus-fire performing stuff.
Learn - well, anything I find interesting. And i find everything interesting. That's my problem.
