About Me

I'm a travel-loving adventurer man living in Istanbul. In my free time, I go on road trips without planning. Camping is my strong desire and I can cook mushrooms fish and meat on the stone.
I love to do myself projects. For example, whatever exists in my area I use to build camping places without a tent.
About snow or rain, I can survive any conditions. If there is snow storm I just open a tunnel size of 3 people tent in 1 hour against the wind (but thanks to our sleeping bag) we stayed inside 1 night.

My family is coming from a Nomad life in the mountains 400 years ago. From Sam to Georgia Turkey. Through farming, they changed their lifestyle and move to Rize.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love experiencing new things. Meeting people and learning about their cultures. If I could I would travel nonstop.
To exchange language couch surfing is the best opportunity. I wanna improve my English and if u teach I will teach you how to cook on stone or how to pick nonpoisonous mushrooms and so on...
I love this community the friendship and the connections I have made on this site is irresistible.
Human psychology and to understand different kind of perspective is important for me.
As long as I have time I'm ready to join your journey.

Interests

I work multiple jobs. Camping, traveling, discovering, road trip, cooking.
Picking chestnut, mushroom, mastic on the mountain.
To get to know people I host people from all around the world. Before couch surfing, I was using interrail groups and I hosted over 200 people I loved it.
My strongest interest is learning a new language I can speak over 4 Balkan languages.
I am interested in dances from other countries and I can dance to all the local dances.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From the Black sea to Georgia to the East side to the Mediterranean, to the Egean side to Marmara to turn back we did 8 000 km road trip adventure!

I went to a Shakira concert in Istanbul and to go there I drove 1300 km!

Solo travel: Without turning back home for 28 days I did camping in the whole Plateau in the Black sea!

I did farming on the snow for 2 months.

I share (donate) food to nonsmoker 90 students every month.

I did hitchhike to the truck for 18 hours to go to Artvin.
Because of the flood, we had to survive 3 days without food and thanks to fishing we are alive!
