Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To conquer the world with my steps!!
PHILOSOPHY
My personal philosophy is:
-Always see the best in people but worst in life. Because it is more probable for life to disappoint you.
-If you dont include art or music or literature or poetry or movies or sculpture in your life- well, you're not living at all.
-Just because life is messed up does not mean that we have to get messed up too.
-No we don't ride in camels and wear veils in Turkey.
Interests
I'm interested in
-people with good stories who love to have a warm conversation
-music- all types but basically rock.
-movies- i hate those cliched American Action movies; so please dont come to my flat with your Bruce Lee or Steven Seagal DVD.
-all types of art: i love art- from Monet to Picasso. My favourite artists are Dali and Gaugein though. I also love Mozart and Schubert.I also like Warhol and Rodin- check Musee d'Orsay in Paris.
-I am really interested in the social condition of the world. Discussions about income inequality, education, hunger and poverty are always welcomed with a huge smile and lots of things to say.
-Literature- I read a lot...I mean..A LOT. I read at classes, in the tram, even sometimes when I go abroad and there are so many things to see.
-Guitars- I play to the guitar and admire Gibson.
ABOUT COUCHSURFING:
I admire Couchsurfing, and if available, I am always willing to host surfers- or maybe have a drink with them to share tips about Am'dam. However, I quite dislike COPY-PASTE requests; it seems as the people are just looking for a place to crash rather than making some new friends with new experiences. So keep in mind that
COPY PASTE REQUESTS WON'T BE REPLIED TO.
Take some time to get to know the people who'll be a part of your life, even for a small amount of time.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I used to be a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan -have a discography of 5 gbs- but since they are going through midlife crisis, I changed my position a little bit.
Right now I'm listening to the Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon and the Killers. I also like Alice in Chains, Tool and Pink Floyd and if you approach me with the words Iron Maiden, I will bend down on my knees and start to worship you.
Books: Kafka is my God. Kerouac is my best friend to go cruising on the road. Solzhenitsyn can be the perfect welcoming father and my mother is...well...Sylvia Plath.
Movies: I watched the Dark Knight three times- and i still want to watch it. I also like movies of Todd Solondz and David Fincher- and have a good collection of movies. So if you get bored of the trance-y Am'dam scene, you're always welcomed for a cozy night of films.
Teach, Learn, Share
Hmm...let me see...
I write occasionally so I can share a few tips about creative writing.
I can teach you how to play guitar
and I can teach some basic Turkish.
