Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel around the world and discover new places and meet new people! My dream is to have been in each and every country in the world!
ABOUT ME
I am an ordinary person who has a dream of traveling the world. Have been working towards this goal since 2011 when I first went to live abroad. Have lived for 1 year in Australia and 1 year in Ireland as well. Currently living and working in Kayseri, Turkey. I love meeting new people, making new friends and learn any and everything people can teach me regarding culture, language, and experiences. As a hobby, I train martial arts and am a huge fan of MMA myself. I also like any kind of outdoors sports, being in contact with nature is one thing I always try to do. Also, love partying and enjoying a drink or two in a good company.
PHILOSOPHY
Carpe Diem
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have been hosting some surfers for a while now! I really like to either host or surf because it is always such a nice experience. I surfed also a few times and was a really great addition to all my trips.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am always hosting people wherever I am living at the moment(which can change frequently) when I am able to (Sometimes there is already someone in here or I am travelling around) and all the surfers I've hosted were great people which I had lots of fun with and shared many experiences about culture, travel and so on. I also surfed sometime while I was traveling around the world and I find it great to have the view of a person living in the area for long to give you advice and stuff. Summing up I had only great experiences on CS.
Interests
I am a very versatile person. I listen to all kinds of music and enjoy all kinds of programs. I enjoy sit around the table and have a good conversation as well as going out with some friends and enjoying the night.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love fantasy books such as Songs of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones books), Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Hunger Games and so on. Also love reading about Technology and Travel.
Movies I like the ones who make you think or share a nice experience/biography. Such as 7 Pounds, Into the Wild, Wild, Inception and so on.
For Music I like many styles I like Jazz, Rock, Country, Blues (basically anything that sound good). However my prefered ones are Electronic Music (most styles: Full-on, Psytrance, Elctro-House, House, Minimal Tech, really I could hear anything well produced, but my favorite is Progressive.) and Reggae.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
As I mentioned before I have a dream of traveling the world and getting to know as many countries and places I possibly can. Back when I used to live in Australia I traveled through South Eastern Asia which was one of the best experiences of my life, being in places such as Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia really was an amazing experience. Now that I am living in Ireland I am trying to keep up with the traveling experience and went to some nice places regarding the history of the world such as Germany, Poland and the Central/Eastern Europe where I learned so much with all the cultural differences.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach some travel tips, languages, some programming maybe, skateboarding, slacklining, anything that I know.
Learn everything possible, maybe a language, orcooking, or playing an instrument would be nice.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Share I can share all my knowledge and experience about travelling and other things I know. Also I can share a beer or two, why not? Maybe some laughs as well, it is always good to have a laugh.
