CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm electrical engineer and a volunteer in my whole life. I love travelling and meeting with new people, learn their languages, cultures and habits.. :)

I am currently living in London but travelling around the UK for work.

I've lived in Germany and Dubai/UAE for 5 years in total. I'm not entirely sure about the exact number of countries I have friends from but I think it's no less than 80 from all around the globe. Wanna hear some stories? Let me know ;)

I can find a solution virtually to any problem, as it's kind of my job :) And I can answer almost any question with another question.

I can talk about almost any topic. You just name it and I'll start talking about it :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is beautiful..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can show you around and have a drink at some very nice spots around London ;) Not available for hosting at the moment though.

I've shown Istanbul to my foreign friends almost for the past 15 years. Some parts are for tourists and you can read about them everywhere. Some parts, only local people know and go. I can help for that if you want :) Now it's time to show London, my new home.

I also have some walk routes, which are partially in historical peninsula and around Taksim..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not yet a couchsurf experience through Couchsurfing.com. However, I once stayed at a place in Warsaw, who was a part of the AEGEE organisation I also was a member of. So, it was cool..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One was in Cologne, the fireworks in Rhein River.
Another was in Washington D.C., 4th of July 2012.
The very first one would be İstanbul.. You see amazing things every day..
I was an EVS volunteer in Cologne. Best time of my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, how to dance salsa and tango, I can solve your problems :)
I'd like to learn first about your culture, not the touristic one, but the real one.
I can share my positive mood :)
