About Me

Hello Would be Surfers!

My name is Alan & I live herein lovely beautiful MARMARIS.
http://bit.ly/1qVDWTZ

I have lived all my adult life in the US, attended 8 years in university education, have obtained 2 M.S. Degrees (From the US universities) Have in traveled in 25+ countries in our Global Village!

Since I ways was fascinated and love Mediterranean type climate, Warm Blue Sea!
So since 2013, I have moved to live herein Lovely Touristic Seaside Resort Town MARMARIS (A paradise for millions of tourists from across the globe!).
http://bit.ly/1qVDWTZ

I am an English teacher from the USA, am also a private pilot "as for in a hobby!" I enjoy fitness, warm sea swimming and I also happen to be a Fitness Trainer!

I will be glad to help any if help is needed with English language (I also love to learn the basics of simple DAILY RUSSIAN CONVERSATION, anyone here to help?!)

1.
I like my GUEST/S feel completely at home and not feel experience of staying like in a hotel!

2.
Please note, I prefer to host female Surfers/guests (No offense on men!).

3.
Please! ADVANCE Couch Request, instead of a last minute Request!
(Kindly respect your would be Host and do not expect /treat your would be Host’s place like a Hotel/Motel/Hostel one can drop in and out at wish!).

Would you like to laugh a little?!
Without any Advance Couch Request...One night at 22:00 I received a call from a Surfer having ALREADY ARRIVED in Marmaris bus terminal, asking for a Couch!!!
I asked him first read my CS Profile, see my Preferences then contact me at 24:00! Si, I showed him hotels right there at the bus terminal and said Goodbye naive Surfer, LOL!!!

4.
Please note, since I do not visit here on CS every-day,
If you chose to contact me for a Couch , BEST is that you write/contact me via my contact addresses shown.

HAPPY SURFING!

Alan

About my Philosophies?!
I happen to adhere to such PHILOSOPHIES as:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens!!
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from yourself.

I also believe that:
LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF BREATH WE TAKE IN, but by the MOMENTS in our lives that DO TAKE our BREATH away!

- Every problem contains the seed of its own solution.
- Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it!
- Open yourself to the opportunities & it will find you
- No guts, no glory!
- You will never achieve what you never even began.

Kindly note, I prefer to Host 1 guest/Surfer at a given time.
I prefer to host ladies! (No offense to men!!!!!).

As such I like to see the things happen freely.
I am easy-going type a gentleman, open and frank in communication.
Surfer/guest is having vacation and for in my view it should be relaxing and pleasant!

COUCH-SURFING EXPERIENCE
As it was said by Times Magazine:
"Couch surfing isn't just a means of accommodation; it is an entirely new way to travel. You get to see the world through local residents, not hotel concierges or guide-books!"

Since 2000, I have Hosted (offered Couch) To more than several+Surfers!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1.
RESCUED a drowning 5 year girl.

2.
In my first SOLO flight, an amazing often a petrifying and fearful experience for every pilot when he/she flies ALONE for the 1st. time!(it is called SOLO flight).

I took off and flew well into blue skies over San Francisco, California then over the vast Pacific Ocean.... TURNED OFF my plane's ENGINE! And then re-started it! God I was petrified!
It is part of the pilot training and a MUST do to obtain flight Certificate.
Anyways,I now think NO GUTS, NO GLORY! I now can fly without fear!

Teach, Learn, Share

As I said,I am an English teacher from the USA, am also a private pilot and a Fitness Trainer "Sports instructor".

Anything I can share with my friends, I do without attaching anything, any expectations, nor any as in reciprocation!

I hope also to meet Russian /Ukrainian guest/s, as I love to learn basics of Simple Daily Russian Conversation."Khorosho moya dorogaya!?

I am a good LISTENERS as I believe when we talk we don't learn much, communication is best to be Open, fair and two-ways!

With pleasure I share with my Guest/s those experiences, memories, photos I have gathered as long as you promise to take it with you when you leave!

As I wrote, I am an English teacher,
I speak:
English 100% as my native language
Danish
Persian "Farsi"
Istanbul Turkish
Azari Turkish

If you like to learn any of the above languages, I am here to help.
However, I’d also love to learn a little of your language too if you like to swap knowledge!

I always try to learn enough of the language to get by in any country where I might be living for a while. This seems only right & proper.
Agree?!

What I Can Share with Hosts

http://bit.ly/1qVDWTZ
Clean comfortable accommodation, herein lovely paradise, MARMARIS!

Internet Wi-Fi access, private bed-room with shower ...
Public Transportation Access,Personal car and taxi, mini buses (excellent public transport) Although my apartment is JUST IN THE CENTER of lovely Marmaris and by the beach!
http://bit.ly/1qVDWTZ

Additional Info!
You should be tidy and clean.
I don’t need to wash your dishes! I have a little obsession for cleanliness!

If a Surfer requests me for a Couch, I expect PUNCTUALITY, if you change your mind to come,please be fair to me (Host) As well as to the Surfers that alternatively, I could have offered my Host-ship to them, Agree?!
