About Me

Well, I can say that I have optimist, easygoing, humoristic personality. I love to get to know different cultures, new people, new experiences. I started volunteering 3 years ago and it changed my life very positively. I improved my skills, learned a lot of things, changed some ideas, met with a lot of good people, travelled some countries and a lot of cities, helped some people. I had very quite personality but i turned little bit talkative.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I liked the ideas of CS. I'd like to find some hosts when I travel. And I'm plannig that, when I get a job and when I'll become settled (last 10 year I'm kind of nomad) I want to take guest from world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can listen one song for 1000 times and can feel same. I dont like modern music. For me music gone in 90's. I like folk, rock, classic, traditional, instrumental. I hate modern Turkish pop and hits on Youtube.

When I went to Edirne for university i turned kind of addicted for movies and serials. I learned English from movies and serials. My favorite serials; Breaking Bad, Dexter, House MD, Stargate-SG1, The Big Band Theory. For movies I can say some actors name which i'm following their movies; S. L. Jackson, Jackie Chan, Gianna Jun, Aamir Khan. All time favorites are; Al pacino, Bruce Lee, Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy.

I read classics when I was a high school student and earliy period. World classics writters like; Victor Hugo, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Paulo Coelho and Turkish writtes like; Ömer Seyfettin, Reşat Nuri, Ahmet Hamdi, Necip Fazıl, Mehmet Akif.
After high school I stoped reading literature and started reading historical academic books. And I started counting how many books I'm reading 2 months ago. For today I read 28 historical books. Its a good number but not enough.
My favorite historical writters are Halil İnalcık, Ahmet Refik, İsmail Hakkı U., Fuat Köprülü...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Russia without any knowledge except "да" and i lived there for 3 years. Of course i learned some words and rules about Russian language in these years. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to talk volunteering, Erasmus +, EVS, Youth Exchange. I can take photos. I not portrait photographer but we can try our best.

I'd love to show how to make Turkish coffee. Because I like to seeing faces when they feel pleasure. Also I like to talk about History. Especially Turkish one but as much as objective.
