CURRENT MISSION

I was living in Berlin since November 2014 and now moved to Turkey 1 month ago (2018). I decided to have a journey of 16 days to Iran :) My sister (31) also added up to the journey, we are very much excited about it. She is a very spiritual person and I call myself as a political, art lover person. Quite different characters but sometimes matches perfect :) We would like to travel and reach our own missions by our selves but also to cross each others journey at some points. We'll first start with Tehran and than... god/you/me/sister know where it will lead :) Please offer us/ somethings to do and we can get to know each other/travel and share moments. Thanks!

ABOUT ME

Well, I didn't ever asked for my friends to describe me, but can say pretty kind when it comes to hosting or get hosted by someone. Definitely curious about new things around me. Thinking of the parameter "change" leads to revolution, by any means. So "to change" is the best description that suits me.

Here is some of the works I made so far, please have a look: https://vimeo.com/distile

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just hate the conventional idea of paying for accomendation, receptions, hotel rooms, open buffets, stars on the hotels etc. :)

Making friends is so important for me, that I try to have this goal on my journeys as well. So the couchsurfing is one of the best ideas for it :)

I hosted dozens of people at my place and have been hosted from others as well. Now I want to expand this journey to IRAN :)

Interests

Interested in trash talk :) such as philosophy and politics, especially on political theories that how state shapes our life in micro and macro ways. Current politics as well :)

Anything related with video is also my taste.

Music of course - there is no single day of mine without music - especially the best in the mornings. But I can not play any Instruments, I just love the feeling with it

Reading books is pretty nice, though I am not having so much time for it. I should actually but I also waste time a lot, so that is another interest of mine, haha :)

Aaaand film making - any kind. Especially the amateur ones I love, it is so full of emotions, I love it.
As my job, I am a cameraman.
