I grown up in Kocaeli (the city next to Istanbul) and came here in 2007 to study and never left. Istanbul is pretty crowded and expensive comparing to my hometown, so I never like here. I made lot's of plans to leave but never left. Now, I'm part of different collectives, both activist and economic, and I'm trying to be happy here :-)

I'm a web developer. I make websites and mobile applications. Working as a freelancer since 2016. I do not have a regular job, which means I might work any time in a day, or do not work at all :-)

I ride bicycle since 2014 and I'm very happy with it. I made less-then-a-week tours in Turkey a few times then in 2016 I went to Balkans with my girlfriend for two months. Next year we ride Trakya and Ege region of Turkey. I also use bicycle for daily commuting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It feels perfect to meet and be friends with complete strangers just in a short time! I had very nice time when hosted some cyclists from Warm Showers.

Interests

I like programming and problem solving, but not for money. I'm also very interested in open source softwares and online privacy.

Although I do not have much time to read, I love books. Mostly books about politics, history and short stories.

• books

• juggling

Music, Movies, and Books

I loved lots of books and movies but I don't remember their names. For films, I mostly like independent ones.

I get obssessed for a kind of music or a musician for a short term and listen it a lot. Then I explore something new and get obssessed with it. In this process, I save the songs I really love to my music player. This playlist became "best of me" :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling other cities and countries by bicycle, meeting different people everyday. I guess, it was the best thing I have done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you three-ball juggling :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Teach how to make juggling balls from balloons and rice and how to juggle them. Also if you are interested in long distance cycling, I can show you how I made my panniers from trash bins.
