"As a being in whose presence being itself becomes an issue, I find joy in travel, reading, philosophical dialogue, cinema (as a devoted cinephile), exploring diverse cultures, and immersing myself in jazz. I fully respect all sexual orientations and identities, but I’m not personally interested in same-sex interactions. Thank you for understanding and respecting this boundary."

One topic that I can talk about for hours is...
Philosophy
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
“To travel, meet people from all walks of life, cook and share meals together, exchange knowledge on just about anything, have fun, listen to music, and enjoy the little moments that come from genuine human connection. I believe that every person has something to teach and something to learn — and Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to experience that exchange in a warm, authentic setting.”
Music, Movies, and Books
All kinds of music but especially jazz. For books: Dostoyevsky, jack London, Orhan Pamuk, Yaşar Kemal, Sadık Hİdayet, Balzac, Camus, Stendhal, Tolstoy, Marquez,...You understand my style. Movies: One flew Over the Cuckoos Nest( my favorite ) , Whiplash, AI, Taxi Driver, Run ( Kurosowa) and movies like these...

What I Can Share With Hosts
separate room for 2-3 persons. kitchen bathroom. saloon. etc. But after some experience with some of the CS's I have to say these : I’m happy to share my home and offer you some food or drinks during your stay. I truly believe in hospitality and have always been willing to give more than I receive. However, please remember that this is not an all-inclusive hotel. Couchsurfing is about mutual respect, sharing, and understanding — not about taking without giving back. It’s important to be mindful of your consumption and considerate of the host’s space and resources. Behaviors that go against this spirit don’t reflect the true Couchsurfing community, and I kindly ask for your cooperation in keeping this experience enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for understanding!
