CURRENT MISSION

Maturing

ABOUT ME

I like good conversations. Don't take this as something trivial to say in the first place, because actually it is very important. I would definitely prefer a decent/fun conversation over a fancy accommodation.

I am easy-going and adaptable, enjoy reading, and travelling... and tasting delicious foods of different places.

Regarding the basics: I am married (happy); doing a PhD in social sciences (an ethnography of small towns in Turkey- happy about this one, too), non-smoker, and a vegetarian (who does not make life harder for others).

PHILOSOPHY

What we perceive as personal is only a myth. We rather belong to others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A Newby :)

Interests

Well, I like writing a blog (unfortunately it is only in Turkish). It is about historical and political issues as well as moral dilemmas we encounter in our everyday life.

I used to teach photography, but I've never become a decent photographer. I can play guitar, a little bit, and a Middle-eastern drum called darbuka.
