About Me

Graduate degree in political science and masters degree in International Relations. I was working in Humanitarian Aid sector in Turkey to provide relief for the Syrian refugees residing in Turkey.
I really enjoy diving and now I am trying to learn spearfishing. I love nature, trekking, swimming, running, fitness, and yoga; long story short: I enjoy anything related with the physical exercise :)
You know that you feel safe and comfortable with some people even if you met recently, I have been told many times I am that person. I love meeting new people, listen their stories and learn from their experiences. I believe in karma and the power of kindness and being humble.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, travel more and help others to travel more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Usually I spent my time reading books about political science and international relations due to my education but as literature, I always enjoyed reading the psychology, underground literature, and absurdism.
Regarding the music taste, mostly chillout, deephouse is relaxing me and I fill the rest with other genres mostly jazz, rock, pop and sometimes with metal for old times sake. Recently I started playing reed flute of which I like the sound and the philosopy behind it.
According to Mevlana, music is the language of the God, and the mighty Creator adressed to the souls with music at Bezm-i elest. For that reason, regardless of their ethnicity or language all people can share the same feeling with music. The reed flute represents the fulfilled people in sufism. It is like the people who is seperated from its lands, emptied inside and carved with hot steel only to came alive with the breath of a creator to whisper to others its yearning of the place it is cut.
For the movie part, science fiction is on the top shelves for me, accompanied with the empty action movies to kill my time. I also enjoy dark comedies and the classics for sure.
