Skeptical about most of the things,
which ultimately makes me a curious person,
so buckle up,
questions are on the way.

Observing,
I like to witness an event and create my version of it (in my mind).
It's fun.

Good at abstracting or deepening things for no reason...

Sarcastic conversations,
meeting sophisticated people,
especially the ones having deep/dark humor,
listening to some stories from different lives.
Feels like reading a new book or watching a new movie.
However, you are the only audience.
Neat.

I appreciate the minimalist living style,
that doesn't mean that I am simple-minded.
I enjoy the complexity of life/universe.
Otherwise, where is the fun in that?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My purpose is to travel across Europe since I participate in ERASMUS Student Exchange Program.

EDIT: Unfortunately, my ERASMUS adventure is ended. A piece of my heart is still living in those time :( However, that is how I joined in CS.

BIG EDIT: At the beginning, my experience wasn't enough to write something about it. Now, I am ready to describe the feeling, I guess...
When I was a kid, my favorite cartoon was Casper, who was a super sweet ghost and that ghost was witnessing moments of the particular people' everyday life. Ofc, Casper was helping those people if there is a need, not just spying on them :D. I don't know why, but I always wanted to obverse people's ordinary/daily life in a place where nobody feels forced to act uncomfortably so that I could truly witness their undisturbed nature and see the pattern. Then, I guess I could have a unique chance to get to know their genuine sides. And, CS is giving me a feeling somewhat I am Casper. Sounds creepy, I know :P

Interests

Walking/running without any particular plan.
Cycling.
Trekking, hiking, camping, all kinds of activities related to nature(actually, one of my dreams is to go to a place on Earth still not visited by the human race, like caves, somewhere inside ocean or Antarctica).
Swimming in interesting/scary places like caves, beautiful lakes, and rivers...
Playing badminton (pretty good at this one)
Developing hardware/software stuff since I am an engineer and enjoy building things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
I usually don't have any particular genre or writer that I follow constantly and mostly find the scientific topics more tempting so I always find myself making research about sth.
However, I have to mention that I am very fond of Bukowski.

Musics:
Take a look at my playlist on Spotify, you will have a taste of my style:

Movies:
Into The Wild(I lost the count how many times I watched but I hits me every time. If you are describing yourself as a traveler/free spirit person, I highly recommend it.), Pulp Fiction (and all the other and Quentin Tarantino's movies), Dersu Uzala, The Matrix, Christopher Nolan's movies, Requiem For A Dream, Rain Man, you got the idea...

TV Series:
many...
Wubba lubba dub dub!

Photography:
I like taking pictures during my trips, here is my Instagram profile,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

printf("Hello C World");

Work and Travel in Philly, USA

ERASMUS in Slovenia

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share
my food,
my drink,
my story,
my lifehacks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Willing to share my experiences and knowledge, most importantly I can share my TIME with you. Isn't it enough? (I value the time a lot)

We can also talk about geeky stuff like Science and Technology if you are interested.

BTW, what are the odds that two random people meet in the same SPACE and spend TIME together, ha? I guess that's the beauty of CS platform...
