About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take a moment to live, take a moment to cry, take moment to love and don't ask why

ABOUT ME

Hello, after living 3 years in France and 1 year in Spain for college, I came back to Turkey end of 2015 where I started to work in the HQ of a Spanish insurance company (MAPFRE Sigorta A.Ş.). I miss like crazy my international environment so after a few years of break from the CS community, I am back for some more diversity !

Since I am living back with my parents for now, I won't be able to host until I have my own place but that should change hopefully soon. Until then I am open to meet up !

Let me tell you smt about myself. I love to improve myself. Always, everywhere. I think life has so much to teach me and i just don't wanna miss it looking at the wrong places. So i need people who can tell me things that i have never heard before, show me various points of views. I'm kinda sucker for music and dance. You can see me dancing almost anywhere with any kind of music. Dancing is my passion, espically latin dances !!!

PHILOSOPHY

All we need is love

I believe in the universe and accept everything it has to offer me, good and bad.

My motto is "Love & Respect" and "Why the hell not!" :D

Viva la vida, because life is so important to be fucking sad about every little thing.

Just go with the flow...

"Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule."
Samuel Butler

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started using it in 2011 in Turkey before I went to college in Lyon/France. I wanted to get used to the international environment and get to know the CS community. I very much enjoyed the mentality of most of the people I met so I decided to use CS in France until I found a flat. It helped me have an accomodation until I found my own place and immerse in the French culture better and easier than I would have done on my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some cool crazy people with such respect and different points of views! Something about CS people, they are all open-minded and generous! Something I really love about them.
