ABOUT ME

Politics student who complaining about reppression of Istanbul.

I am insider of Bodrum and İstanbul.
I can faithfully answer all your basic questions about Turkey.
Tourists can’t know that what a locality really means and they definitely need someone introduce them the city. So, you can only “feel” the city with a local insider.

I came to Istanbul from Mugla,Bodrum in 2014. I am a student at Istanbul University. I am studying Political Science and International Relations. I am also studying Economics as second Bachelor at same university.

My educational goals are have a ph.d. from Economics and speak English like my mother tongue.

I am against all kind of violence and force. I am definite advocate of freedom of speech and freedom of thinking. Although my country doesn’t follow the liberterian ecole, I am a complete supporter of freedom and individual rights.

Liberty is the actual truth that I extremely care.

I like to make inferences about movies and series for hours.

Instead of fantastic and idealist series, I prefer to watch more realistic series.

Honestly, I don’t interest about theatre and art but I believe, I have more knowledge 4x than avarage Turkish citizen :)

I like to talk about popular news, politics, economics, movies, songs, social media etc. I also enjoy to discuss about god, cosmos, evolution, substance etc. and all that scientific and philosophical subjects while we drink couple beers.

I am expressing myself detailed because I believe; Things that people’s interested and done, effects their psychologies, actings and attitudes.

I have experience 3 years of fitness, 6 months of boxing. I am currently doing Calisthenics trainings. Sometimes, I play soccer, running and trekking; so we can do any sports you choosed and that absolutely be great.

I also play guitar. If you are musicians too, we can play together and make improvisations.

I love to travel and exploring city by walking. We can chill at home by time and our mood. Like David Bowie’s quote :”I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring."

Although, I don’t like Turkish culture and tradition, If you want to learn these norms, I can talk about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

-I want to fully absorb the city. Instead of walking around like a tourist, I want to feel the city %100 by cooperations of people’s who lives in city for years or local citizens. Same way, I would like to help to people who is like me, in Istanbul or Bodrum. As a result, we are all humans and we can be more happier as helping each other.

-Meeting new lifes, new toughts and new cultures.

-Improving my English skills for my future business carrier.
