I am a teacher of English, currently working for the equivalency office of provincial education administration.I was born on 5th of February, 1988 in Istanbul. However where I feel myself belonged to is Güneysu/Rize where I live now. My home in Rize is up in the hills of Güneysu district where I live with my old mother. I live with my over 80-years old mom and due to her deteriorating health and my unwillingness give her more discomfort, I don’t want to host guests at my place any more. Still, I keep my profile up just in case someone may want to meet up. Couchsurfing has given me so much insights into cultures of different people for which I have great appetite. Also, I have my plans to holiday abroad and spend time with locals be it a meet-up or as guest at their house. Well
, I am a man of nature who likes any activity out in nature. And my favorite past time is cycling and taking pictures while doing that ( You can have a at my pictures on www.instagram.com/volkanyilmaz53) . I love travelling and getting to know new people. Except for outdoor activities, I also read a lot and like watching movies on my laptop. My Facebook www.facebook.com/volkan53
