About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world more starting from myself

ABOUT ME

A chronic dreamer, optimistic approach to the life, have a wanderlust, have big eyes of curiosity for any interesting ideas, things, people.

PHILOSOPHY

You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann

"Life is made up of small things. Your ego says they are little things. You wish to make greater things. Write a great poem, become a Shakespeare, Kalidas or Milton. This problem is created by your ego. Leave your ego and let everything be creative."

Osho

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I participated a few events and hosted, and it was a great feeling to be helpful and it connects people in a different way. However I didn’t have a chance to be hosted yet.

Interests

I have a mind full of dreams and trying to make them true for all of my life. Since childhood, I have been dreaming to travel to South America. This is the first long term plan that I have, waiting to be realized.
I am fascinated with any kind of art, such as theatre, cinema, photograpy, dancing, singing.. especially all about theatre, costumes, dance, scenes, lights, plays. And I'm interested in every single street that I will discover and every person I will have a connection.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'd rather share the directors of the movies that I adore bacause I love all of their movies. Jim Jarmusch, Alfred Hitchcock, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Theodoros Angelopoulos, Bela Tarr, Michael Haneke, Emir Kusturica, Fatih Akın, Ingmar Bergman, Hayao Miyazaki.

Many types of music but mostly I listen oldies and Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Queen, The doors, Blonde Redhead, Pearl Jam, Bülent Ortaçgil, Birsen Tezer.

I used to read a lot but unfortunately internet ruined this. I still try to read, but it's not as much as I used to. I enjoy novels and philosophy books. Mostly Russian literature; Chekov , Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and others Hermann Hesse, Bertolt Brecht, Alejandro Jodorowsky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everyone has a universe inside made up with amazing experiences! So let's share them in reality :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Even a word is a knowledge. Discover what we can learn, teach, and share.

I can teach English or Turkish and how to make good Turkish coffee :)
I like practicing Spanish so it would be nice to learn new things about this language. You can teach me your own traditional food.
We can share many things that I can not count. But the moment we share together, it is unique.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences, stories.

Countries I’ve Visited

Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, Kuwait, Latvia, Netherlands, Qatar, Russian Federation, Spain, United Arab Emirates
