Overview
About Me
---Aliitle more dream, a little less plan!---
I have studied aerospace engineering. Worked and lived in Netherlands as an engineer for a few years.
Then I went to Arizona, US to fullfill my dreams to become a pilot. Fortunately, it ended with success : ) Now, I am a long haul airline pilot of beautiful Airbus 330 and 350 aircrafts.
I love aircrafts and anything that can fly.
I like to travel and it is a part of my job : ) I am playing guitar and percusion instruments, I sing in a a band of pilots however I am not a proffesional musician.
I have lived in 4 countries namely Netherlands,US,Belgium,UK.
I like to learn different languages. Special interest on Russian, Spanish and Japanese.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Above all, I like to hear about different cultures, food, languages and music. I love to meet people from abroad even though I see them everyday due to my job.
I wanna serve any couch-surfer with my couch in my flat at the center of Kadikoy.
I had some other experiences in hospitalityclub. I got some visitors in Istanbul and when i was in Slovakia and France, coachsurfers hosted me there.
