About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a professional comedian and writer.

ABOUT ME

Saying things on text-basis spoils the fun of meeting face-to-face.

How are you doing?

Hope to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

I really believe living is living if and only if you are keeping in touch with people. Everyday I am trying to meet new people to get new perspectives on life. Thinking is really tiresome. Experiencing is a shortcut in my opinion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to meet with people and show them around but that doesn't happen much. I'm hosting time to time. Once I get my own place, I'll host more people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed at two beautiful hosts on my travels. I also traveled together with countless couchsurfing users. I know lots of the surfers are great people, that's why I wanna become a host now.

Interests

I'm interested in applied sciences, video games, drinking, wasting my body. I also like to have good laughter. It helps for me to become a good comedian.

I'm a stand-up comedian. I like to go up on stage. I've got a 70 minutes show. (which is in turkish. When I speak english, I get serious suddenly =D (Last sentence was a joke (This one wasn't a joke))) In one year I want to write an english show. Then the next achievement will be to be a wordclass comedian.

I also try to improve my writing skills. I worked as a copywriter, now I'm working freelance. It helps you to be more creative you know.

I really like to dance. Although I don't know any dance figure, I'm quite good at freestyling. That's why I like reggea a lot. (I started to learn lindy hop. Now, I've got a few moves (It's been a long time since I did it, now I forgot :P)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen and play music. My main instrument is piano. It's been years since I played it though. My favorite type of music is instrumental like; god is an astronaut, helios, balmorhea etc.

I read novels according to their story-telling strength. Storyline is not a priority for a good book. Of course it helps but I've seen a lot of good ideas gone to waste with bad structure.

Let's have a moment of silence for those ideas...

Hollywood movies are same too, you know. They don't want to pull you into the movie as long as they have enough action (Of course there are exceptions) Listing is not my favorite thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once met a bunch of girls in Paris champs elysees. In a circle of events they took me to a home party which was a very beautiful experience.

Once I climbed to a high swiss alp. I was right into a cloud.

In amsterdam I got so high that I started to ask people "Where is hostel?" And when they couldn't answer, I really did get mad. Amazing thing about this story: let alone being amazing it's not even an interesting story!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to imitate a psycophatic serial killer who gets a lot of pleasure from killing. But then I have to kill you... Slowly... Joyfully...

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland

Countries I’ve Lived In
