CURRENT MISSION

Travel, host and get to know as many cool people as I can!

And if in any way I can help promote world peace and/or make a person smile...that's when I feel I am doing something meaningful.

ABOUT ME

Lived in 5 countries so far and looking for more. Recently back home in Turkey after living in USA, Germany, UK and Canada.
Working in the energy industry as a Commercial Manager.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for sharing all we have with other people...

I believe that even though our nationalities, colors or beliefs are different; we are all equally wonderful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people.

Instead of touristic attractions, I always prefer having a local with me to explore the urban culture and the spirit of the city.

Also, I'd be glad to host or at least help travelers see around wherever I live at that time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Non-fiction 99% of the time. And I do not believe it is fair to name any books or artists as I will probably forget to mention some of them. However not mentioning Camus felt a bit unfair to me. I feel the need of showing my respect to him.

Music: Various. Open to anything. Top artists include: Pink Floyd, Moby, Bonobo, Eminem, Asaf Avidan, Röyksopp, Frank Sinatra
I also like house music, edm, jazz & trip hop...Techno makes me dance :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Organizing a concert in a big event hall for almost 700 people in Turkey

Been to a house with a car museum inside in USA

Flew a plane in Canada

All the ancient sites I have been to were amazing to me

Understanding each other with people who does not speak any language that I do

What I Can Share with Hosts

My time, if the host is also willing to share moments

A couple drinks or more

Stories from places I have been to and people I have met, things I have learned

Our thoughts on life, existence, arts, sports or anything else...I mostly do not do very well with pop-culture such as TV shows, but I do not mind listening to anything from a person who adds me something in some way
