ABOUT ME

ENGLISH
I live alone; I have a pretty comfy futon to share with you with blankets. I don't smoke and don't allow smoking in my apartment. I live in the izmit

I'm a vegetarian now so I'd appreciate no meat being cooked at home, but I'd be more than glad to try out cooking some yummy vegetarian dishes together! :)

I work during the week so I wouldn't be able to show you around much during then, but I probably could during the weekends.

Two or three nights is usually a good amount of time to stay here, since it's a bit small. :)

I would love it if you could please recommend some local music or information from your hometown/country because I love to discover new things about different parts of the world. :) ALSO: Since I just very recently painted my apartment, please let me know that you've read this and will be super careful not to scractch up my walls with huge backpacks!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life to the fullest and most positive way I can. I'm trying to learn and experience most everything the world has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted a lot in Seoul, South Korea, as well as Lima, Peru. I've also met lots of friends when I was hosted traveling around Asia, North America, and South America.

Couchsurfing has opened the doors of many homes of the most wonderful people. I've experienced things and met people I never would have experienced or met without CS.

I'm both happy and proud to be a part of what is often such a great concept and world. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing music, especially with others, is an amazing feeling.

Sincere friendship.

Teach, Learn, Share

It seems I'm pretty good with languages, so at the moment I can definitely help out with English or Spanish, and a bit of French. I can also teach some basic Mandarin Chinese.

I can also teach music (guitar, drums, piano), and a few other things I'm sure.

I want to continue learning more languages and about other cultures. I love learning languages. We all have something to learn.
