Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Trying to live the best life in Japan I possibly can...
MOTO
"The more you travel the more you feel".
ABOUT ME
I am a researcher living in Kyoto. I am free spirited, calm, cheerful and easygoing person.
I've been fortunate enough to meet lots of people even long before I started using couchsurfing, and I am pretty sure that I've never met anyone that I haven't gotten on with on some level, or found some common ground!
I truly enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories since at the end of the day we're all far more alike than we actually admit. I enjoy participating in communities such as CS since every single new connection breaks down yet another barrier in this world.
I won't accept requests if you don't read my profile and the house rules.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in a life with purpose, definite aims and goals. Living for the moment sounds also good if you have amazing people around you. However, once it's time for them to move on, you are going to need something to keep yourself busy!
I strongly believe that all of us can achieve everything we want by sheer will. You just need to truly want it and time will take care of the rest.
I think that people need to take responsibility for their own future and help, motivate each other towards their dreams. There is nothing more satisfying than helping someone else and watch them achieve their desires.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I literally love the idea of hosting surfers from all around the world. I am happy to provide a warm and welcoming place for other travellers to stay. I enjoy meeting people, showing them around and having fun together.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am a member here since 2013 but I have recently started hosting people and I found it to be even better than I imagined. I'm really grateful for all the new friends I have made around the world since joining.

Music, Movies, and Books
Slow movies like "The Man From Earth" , "12 Angry Men" , and the Sci-Fi movies such as "Star Wars" are the best for me.. Plus if you think Infinity War was much better than Endgame, we gonna hit it off.
I watched a lot of Anime so if you like them, we gonna have a long chat.
When it comes to music I enjoy Jazz and country.
I am currently reading the The Wheel of Time book series.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Jumped to Seine River from the Bridge in the middle of a night(No, I was not drunk). It was my first major trip over Europe on my own, and it actually ignited a passion for travelling inside me and that has led me to hosting people through this website.
Teach, Learn, Share
Currently I am taking courses in Japanese. I would like to have more opportunities to practice. It would also be nice to practice Turkish or English together..
What I Can Share with Hosts
If time permits, I can give you a tour of Kyoto.
I can give advice on where to eat the best food, where to have the best drinks around Kyoto.
I can share my knowledge about the universe and space we are living in if you are into the subject.
