ABOUT ME

i'm me :) i find it so silly to describe myself.well i grew up in ankara the capital city of turkey but now living in istanbul since 9 years.i am an artist.painter, video and installation artist.i was a ski racer and a pro inline skater before i do juggling and play some instruments which i don't know how to play.harmonica and ukulele are my favorites.i love travelling.usually not touristic stuff only to meet the locals and find extreme stuff to memorize the wibe of the places.i am deeply interested on knowing our origins on this planet.trying to understand our human nature.we are all conected somehow and we are one:)

PHILOSOPHY

i believe we shouldn't work that much for our lives.life'S only a period of time we need to enjoy.we all need to find our toys and tools to make it our playground.all we need to do is to be ourselves.i love all living creatures.to be honest i believe more animals than human.i find myself a direct person, i don't like to pose or to pretend like i am someone else.i accept life as it is.not complaining about it but have a great belief of the ones we can do to make it better.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

saw it first on a paper.than checked on net than tried once and loved the way which connects us all.i find cs is one of the very best innovations of the century.this has to be the best way of travelling.

i've hosted many couchsurfers and their friends.i didn't know about cs when i was travelling before so i never surfed anywhere with cs.but surfed on peoples couch by my own luck :)
