Hi, Turkish-Li was an old nickname and it won't let me change it, but you can call me Lee.

I did live in Turkey once, but I'm actually South African born, with a British accent...I lived in the UK for far too long.

I'm open minded, considerate and live a simple, uncomplicated life.
We'll get along great if you're an open minded, chilled and positive human being.

My passion is the ocean, conservation and scuba diving.
I love exploring, trying new things and spontaneous adventures.....but I'm just as happy chilling, sat in silence and just watching the world go by!

I'm 99% on a plant 🌿 based diet (I sometimes eat fresh eggs from happy rescued chickens who don't go for slaughter and aren't fed crap and injected with hormones)
I don't care about your diet choices, so please don't let mine be a problem. I'll always find something to eat in the hardest places.

I LOVE Indian food.
GOOD coffee.
Laughter.

I'm not into over crowded tours or places and prefer to go where the locals like to go. I love nature and immersing myself into the local culture.

"We only have one life and one planet, so love it, live it and do more of what makes you happy"

I'm not a fan of racist, pretentious or narrow-minded people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be a traveller, not a tourist!
To meet amazing people from all over the world and to learn new skills and grow from new experiences, cultures and traditions. Ultimately, to live life as it really happens.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, my taste is very eclectic.
Love films and documentaries.
I like reading when i have the time. Mainly non-fiction stuff to enrich the mind and soul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching English to Buddhist children in a monastery in Laos, scuba diving with Bull Sharks and sandboarding massive dunes in the Sahara.... I know it said one, but they're all pretty amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

It's all about sharing, sharing is caring! I can teach you scuba diving and help you share with you alternatives to using single use plastics and ideas to reduce unnecessary waste.
I'm always wanting to learn new skills or try new ideas

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, laughs, stories and some bad dad jokes.
If you're into diving I can offer you help, advice and if you want to get into diving....well I can definitely help you with that ☺
