About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live and see as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

I find it hard to tell about myself in some sentences, but lets give it a try. I am a dreamer that wants to get the most from life. Besides all the bad things going on in the world, I love this planet and want to believe that we will see peace all over the world one day.

PHILOSOPHY

This life is a one time thing. Get the most out of it. Like the old folks say Carpe Diem, and for the new youth YOLO. And for me just, let's take risks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I got in to couchsurfing a while ago but have not been so active. From now on I am planning to change this.

Interests

I guess like almost all people on CS, TRAVELLING. It is my biggest passion for now, and I hope I get never bored of it. Which comes with it, of course, is getting to know new people and learning cultures. Because in the essence of it all, what i like the most is observing (cultures and people)
I love dancing in every way and doing contemporary dance lately.
I did paragliding for two years and totally loved it. The feeling of flying is hard to describe.
I like to explore feelings and thoughts.

Music, Movies, and Books

I want to see new things so I am mostly open to all kinds.
I love documentaries and have a sympathy for French movies. But my favourite director is Krzysztof Kieslowski even though I can't write his name without googleing it.
What to say about music? It's all about the mood and the context of the moment.
I feel like I was Dostoyevski in my previous life but obviously I couldn't carry my writing skills to this life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An AFS exchange in Belgium. It was a remarkable year.
Paragliding, feeling of flying is remarkable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very open to learn, especially about the things I have never seen.
I can cook good, I think. At least that's what my friends and my family tell me. So I can teach you to make some traditional turkish food, like preparing a perfect table for drinking rakı (the traditional strong turkish alcohol bevarage)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am living currently in Brussels. I am still kind of a tourist here too so we can explore the city together.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland

Countries I’ve Lived In

Belgium, Turkey
