ABOUT ME

Mert I. Emir was born December 1991 in one of the most popular tourist cities in the world, stunning Istanbul. Growing up in such a cultured city, it was easy for him to adapt. He is a little hyperactive yet also has a hardworking character, which guides him towards success in life.

Mert Inanç’s first priority is “learn something from anyone” and “share anything you know”.

He developed his vision and acquired a global mindset while participating in Life Long Learning/Erasmus education and internship in Portugal. He is speaking English and Portuguese. Now a days he has already started to take Russian course in Turkmenistan! In the near future he is planning to learn French also.

He is a Civil Engineer, his first project was one of the Subway Tunnel Construction in Istanbul. In april 2014 he moved to Ashgabat/Turkmenistan for work there.
He is also Traveller. He likes it a lot! For him experiencing new cultures can pick you up to meaning of the life!

Interrail was the almost best thing in his life!
And also he is an organizer. He likes to organize any kind of thing that he loves. For example he has some groups and clubes about Portuguese, Academicians and etc..

He is so warm person and he likes to smile a lot. Hope that soon you will be smiling with him:)

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life for to be a good man.
If people will say something good behind my back, that's the point for me. Really nothing else.

I want to live like how I feel.. I think this proverb explains me a lot: "either seem as you are or be as you seem" Rumi

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing" Helen Keller
"Lıfe is a journey, the one who travels lives twice."

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted so many Surfers in Ashgabat and simply I`m addicted to it!! :)

Interests

Erasmus, Interrail, creating anything , organizing any kind of events , learning and speaking languages, travelling annd etc. etc..

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all the beauties in the world. It's also contains movies, musics.. for example I listen all different kind of musics that has a nice sound.. But I should mention about how I am addicted to listen `Until the last moment` from `Yanni` this song sounds like not from this world!!!

About movies: Are there someone who have never felt like `The Truman Show` ?!

Currently I`m reading `The Rich Dad The Poor Dad` actually I don`t give an importance to money but I had to learn something about finance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*Erasmus in Portugal was the starting of everything for me. Discovering, living, enjoying..

*Then planning my own Interrail trip and making it real was completely unforgettable experience. Do you know how many nights I slept outside?! :)

*Working in Turkmenistan for more than 2 years! Woow isn't it amazing yet?

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach. Learn. Share. These are what I do in my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Is it true to think that one can treat somebody only by way of feeding and hosting ? One may treat another with a pleasant tone of speech, smile on their face... As well as, by listening ethically, speaking softly and showing concern.
It happens that a pleasant conversation feeds one with flavor that is much tastier than hundred food and dines! Might even two smiling eyes lit you up brighter than hundreds of travels and voyages...

So,

I don’t simply provide the accommodation to my guests, I offer my friendship, smiling face and sincerity.
Please do pay attention to these while sending couch requests:)
