About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to discover and to be inspired from life!

ABOUT ME

Well, I would prefer not to describe myself and let people discover not that i believe that there is much to discover about me but because it depends! Sometimes I am very creative and joyful sometimes quiet, for some people I am crazy, for others funny. But always confused and curious about new things and ready to change the answers!

PHILOSOPHY

the worst decision is better than no decision!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I moved to Melbourne from İstanbul and my friends suggested me to join!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I became a member of couchsurfing when I decided to move to Ausralia. Because I have been travelling since then, I could not be able to have an experience to host people but been hosted by very nice people so far. Because I like to host people and show around the places I like, when I am stable, I will definitely do and enjoy it!

Interests

Cooking, illustration&design, theatre, performance, arts, cinema, books, photography, dancing, handcraft, massage, meditation.

I love to discover myself.(Yeah, still! This is a neverending process:))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Couchsurfing! :)))

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, i can talk about art, design and theatre for days but who would like to listen? :) Actually i enjoy discussing rather than lecturing in both cases.
I can teach you about Turkish cuisine (a lot of delicious foods other than kebab if we can find ingredients i will definitely cook for you!)
And I can teach you some basics about relaxation & reflexology massage.

France, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, Netherlands, Serbia, Singapore, Thailand
