======== SUGGESTION ======

Here you are and taking a look to my profile. Probably you are looking for some host, advice or the other way around I am the one who is looking for some help, host or advice from you... And here you are, checking my profile to guess what kind of human being I am...

First of all THANK YOU so much! Because if you are still reading this sentences it means that you are somehow "caring" about me and spending your valuable time with taking a look at to my profile which is so kind and nice of you! Anyway here we go...

Initially I am a good person! I know it is hard or even impossible to prove but believe me, i am!!:) I hope we will meet one day and you will have a change to have your own opinion about me :D

Hmmm... let me tell you a brief story of my life:

Since 2011 I am living in Warsaw. Currently I am working as a Turkish language teacher in University of Warsaw and as an AML Analyst in the Royal Bank of Scotland. I used to work as an game tester and game translator but unfortunately I had to drop that job.

I am the first son of my parents who are a pedagogue/writer (mother) and engineer(father).

I have a younger brother.

Around 6 years I played professional handball.

I decided to follow a similar career like my mom and I decided to study psychology. I have finished two universities. I have Master's degree on psychology.

During my first studies I got a scholarship and I had an internship in Cologne/Germany! It was probably the best time of my entire life! I love that city, have perfect friends there and I am trying to visit them as much as I can!

I have a Polish girlfriend. We have been together since 2010. We met with her while we were travelling around the Turkey with the same group of students. And yes because of her I am living in Warsaw right now. What a love story huh! :D

I LOVE HARDCORE music ! I have been lots of hardcore festivals around the Europe. I used to play drums but last couple of years I am not that much active anymore:/

Well....Pretty much that is all about me. I hope you did not get bored while you were reading that. If you want to know more about me or just want to ask something please do not hesitate to PM me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

If I could be born couple of years ago and had some skills about technology and internet, I ensure you I would be the founder of CouchSurfing! I am so sure about it because Couch Surfing provide me and all of us a world that I would like to live and pursue my passions!

Some of my CS experiences:

1) I HOSTED a Portuguese guy who I met perchance in a concert at Warsaw. When I learned that he would stay in a bad hostel for a night and pay for that low quality hostel lots of money I offered him to stay in my place and he accepted it:D It was so spontaneous:D

2)I HOSTED a so nice Romanian guy who was visiting Warsaw for his close friend. He stayed our place 4 nights. At that time both me and my girl friend was so busy so we could not sightseeing with him but we were giving him useful tips about city. At least thats what he told us:D And luckily his friends took care of him. So i guess it was a nice experience for him.

3)During my last Euro trip I was looking for a couch at Brussels for a night and Thank's to Couchsurfing I found it. It was perfect! Just PERFECT!:D If I have to be honest I had one of the worst hangover ever that day and ı was so afraid that she will not like me or she will not feel comfortable with me but eventually after some perfect Belgian food and liters of water i was ok:D She showed me "her own Brussels" and it was priceless for me to had a change to experience something like that!

4) I HOSTED 3 awesome hitchhiker in Warsaw. It was really a pleasure for me and my g.friend to know them. I was really sad when they were living! Thanks to couchsurfing I have new friends! I hope we can meet with them as soon as possible.

5)During our last long lasting euro backpacking trip, me, my g.friend and our close friend SURFED at Toulon with a perfect host. She was one of the kindest persen I ve ever met and we really feel like home at her place.

6)During me and my g.friends first trip to Japan we STAYED at 3 different couchsurfers, 2 at Tokyo, one at Osaka. As most of Japanese people each of them were wonderful people, so kind, generous and respectful. Amazing memories!

7)We HOSTED two German girls for 3 nights at our place. I tried to show them the Warsaw through the eye of a person who lives here and love to party. I think they enjoy their stay:)
