ABOUT ME
I am a tourism employee at a hotel in Antalya. We work mostly with Scandinavian guests though I welcomed guests almost from all over the Europe and CIS. Hospitality is my job! I studied American Culture and Literature at university. I also speak some German though "ich muss mich verbessern" :)) New target is to learn Russian language. We have so many Russian guests nowadays. It is hard to describe yourself actually, but if I should summarize in a few words: Open minded, positive, always in a good mood and social...
As you have done, I also read your references. Ooops, no reference? Shoot a message, I will be glad to inform you about the region, tell you where the best beach is and where to find the nontouristic restaurants. References only from 1 gender? Do not even send a message ;) My house is not a hotel, if you are really looking for hotel comfort, google will show you hundreds of quality alternatives in the area. Though I work busy during summer season, I love spending time with my surfers; especially with the ones who bring me a magnet from their hometown :)
PHILOSOPHY
Trying to save the future might cause you to miss the day...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was searching about what to do in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Paris, I was suggested by a friend to check CS for events. Since then, I am in.

Interests

I like learning more and more about different places and cultures. Fortunately I work at a tourism city where I meet many people from different countries. Thus I learn a lot even without experiencing those places. Now it is time to explore myself. My top favourite hobbies are jogging on the seashore, gym activity, table tennis, daily city trips, cooking, chess, backgammon, playing bağlama (a local music instrument)...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most amazing one was to spend almost a day in a non-ending cave and get lost inside with no lights, water and food. It was fun to discuss on whether we start eating the cloths or shoes first. Lucky to see a small light just before sunset 6 countries in 23 days with an 8 kg backpack. Sounds amazing to me
