The motto is: "Enjoy the ride, love the end!"

A researcher and academician in tourism field. As I know how tourism reveals great outcomes when people come together, I always try to be mobile to meet new people, learn about new cultures, and see amazing spots around the world!

I have lots of interests but running is my therapy. It's the perfect way to clear and calm my mind. That's why, I love travelling for races! And meet people when running.. Common purposes.. And good friendships!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If you stay at a hotel during your journey, it is not easy to learn about a culture because many hotels have classic design, foods or activities, and this does not give you a clue about lifestyle of the society. That's why, staying with locals is great idea!

Interests

Running, hiking, cycling, swimming, playing and (as a licenced referee) ruling football, cooking (maybe some traditional foods!), and dancing!
