About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Backpacking in Italy

ABOUT ME

Borders are imaginary, Passports are just for showing who you are... so what if you have two passports with different nationalities!? what and who are you then?... the only important thing is who you think you are and what you do or been doing. I believe in equality and freedom. We all are human beings and we all are the same! I grew up in two different cultures, german and turkish, haven't been easy but I love both and both cultures are a part of me. I'm just a normal person from next door, no one special...

About my person: I'm spontaneous, open-minded, humorous, honest... don't know how to describe myself, you'll see when you meet me! :D

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around, comes back around.

I'm thankful for what I have and I don't want more than I need.

I don't like the words ''normal'' (what's normal!?) and ''perfect'' (nothing is perfect, always depends on the observer!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm traveling most of the time. unfortunately I can not host where i actually live studying in a small city) but the weekends I'm back home in Berlin and can show you around!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have a lot CS experience yet coz i just discovered CS! I hope I'll make lots of experiences and meet new people from all over the world.

Interests

I have lots of interests! First of all: MUSIC! I love playing on my guitar (not a usual guitar though, its called SAZ or BAGLAMA - originally from Turkey) - making music, singing, listening all that belongs to my life.
Actually I'm a fan of every kind of music: Rock, HipHop, RnB, Soul,Classic (love Farid Farjad and Fazil Say), Jazz, Dupstep, Electro,... anything what sounds good to me, but artists like Frank Ocean, Drake, John Legend, The Weeknd, Kanye are just amazing!

Festivals! I love Festivals! I haven't been at many but the ones i've been were amazing! Hurricane-Festival (you can find me there every year!), Rock am Ring (Germany), Turkish Rock Festival in Izmir and Holy-Festival in Berlin

Politics, especially turkish politics. To discuss and listen to other peoples opinions or experiences are great! So it's also possible to have deep conversation with me :)

Photography: I like expressing words, feelings and thoughts with photos, Unfortunately, I'm not an expert (really only know the basics) but I'd like to learn more about it.

Languages! To learn new languages is great! New language means new culture. New culture means meeting new people. Meeting new people means learning more about different lifestyles and experiences.
This year I'm going to improve my French and next year hopefully starting to learn Italian (No. 5 ;)
