ABOUT ME

I am curious about people. Meeting a new person/being in a new place gives me joy, hope to discover. I believe every person carries a unique personality with its identity.
I am a software engineer about designing telecommunication software solutions.

I am trying to find out passion, relaxation, calmness, excitement, acceptance of nothingness in general.

I like to read and argue on anything without any conceptual block, far from comfort zones of individuals.

Having engineering background made me think analytically and quantitatively, which bothers me a lot in my daily life; therefore I am wandering into history, anthropology, sociology, neuroscience, fantasy and also bunch of disciplines to understand what I cannot understand, to think outside of the box, to alter collective consciousness.

How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.

I do not prefer to host locals.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Via friends. During my travels, I at least stayed at couch surfers more than 2 months in different places all around the Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
As a host, I have met so many great people from all over the world. I enjoyed to do the things that I like to do and share the experiences with my guests as much as I can and treat them as if they are my all-time friends. CSers refresh the corruption of time in my mind with a little touch of fresh view.

As a visitor:
When I visited Paris, our host who became a good friend of mine take me to a city tour at Fete de la musique. It was a breathtaking experience.
I also had a great time in Bologna, a mystery tour that my host provided me about the 7 secrets of the city in the midnight.

兴趣

Anything I found curious, tales, camping, cycling, wood-cutting, living in the nature as survivalist, physics, partying, reading, watching TV series, football, history.

I am an easy going person. While listening psychedelic music, I do also love to go out for a couple drinks and party.

What I love is cycling, camping, swimming, cave-expedition anything includes discovery.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I am still alive and not leaving Turkey. Actually I always thought revolt therefore I am.
Attending all GeziPark protests, sleeping in the streets to rebel against authoritarianism and radicalism.

教，学，和分享

What I can teach: Extensive history, geography, political, religious and philosophical background of Istanbul, Turkey, Ottoman Empire, Middle-East and beyond until the stardust ;)
Besides, I'd like to discuss technology, brain, neuroscience, human behavior, limits of our capabilities, intuition, physical limitations, time, good music

Learn: I crave to learn anything new, even tough if you have your own thoughts about things that is new for me. But nowadays I am interested in meditation and self-discipline,
