A person trying to fill her life full of joy and many interests -especially musical, loves the method "trial and error", and discovers every tastes of life as much as she can...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Experiences told by a friend of mine pushed me to have an account, and i am here!

So far so nice, hope that it will continue! Being aware of that you can find "yourself" somewhere around the world makes me alive!

Interests

Music takes the biggest part while performing vocally as much as listening, watching and playing at theater groups, trying to analyze movies, occassionally swimming, cycling and skating... searching how can i go to this and that place, and, in sum, experience the life...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Related to the subject, as notes from my travels, Irish air of Wicklow put a spell on me, tasting -still lasting- Irish seafood chowder served with butter & walnut bread, fruit wines of Sirince, honey rakia in Serbia, and blueberry pies of Finland, feeling the softest water of Pamukkale with my feet, deep feelings coming when I face with fairy chimneys in Cappadocia and green hills of Black Sea... are some of my endless examples.

They are getting more and more everyday, and i cannot reach this "massive attack", so always missing something! Bohemian life on Charles Bridge, losing myself with sips of Porto wines, following "handprints" of Gaudi in Barcelona... Ok, maybe i can add one more; lastly, i was on the stage to dance with Dirty Dozen Brass Band at Swingin' Groningen, just a day before getting crazy by the performance of Electro Deluxe, what a pity for us the festival didn't to continue until we would be worn out!

...and most recently, surviving in Balkan and Polish trains... it's a long story!

Teach, Learn, Share

First, I am open to communicate and can understand you as I am trying to break prejudices. Moreover, I can demonstrate some body percussion rhythm patterns, how to play violin and sing with special techniques of breathing:), Turkish, how to live without medicines (herbal stuff helps you:), some card and board games...
