About Me

I love understanding. So clear! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that If you want to feel the spirit of a city, there are 3 ways:
When it is night.
When it rains.
While spending time with locals.
The first 2 is smth I can arrenge by myself, but 3rd is you may need CS.

Interests

A lot of music and a bit Ancient Greek.
Music: I play several intruments and I love to try the new ones :) My fretless classical guitar, oud, cümbüş and baglama are my best friends, I wish I can travel with them.
Ancient Greeks: I think I am in the love with Heraclitus.
Sports: I do swimming, biking, running, but not a triathlet yet.

Next round is Bosphorus in July.
