About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make this oily planet a bit more sustainable!

ABOUT ME

I have always been fascinated by different cultures and people. Maybe because my father is from Turkey and my mother is from Sweden, so i grew up with the Swedish culture and had the Turkish next to it. I love to experience things I haven't done before, but that people show me, and learn new things. Not just being a worker drone.

PHILOSOPHY

Why not live a little? Preferably in the present. :)
Having the courage to do things that scare me but I know I really want to do

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed once in Istanbul. I love the idea that you get closer to the place you are in, not feeling completely like a tourist but more down to earth.

I also have had surfers here. And it was a very nice experience. Somehow I appreciate Stockholm more through their eyes, they make me see new things about this place. Also, I love sharing thoughts with people living in other conditions.

Interests

Music, meeting people, travelling, camping in nature, sustainable living, cob- and strawbale houses, books, movies, food, listening to stories and have good discussions over some tea/beer/wine, playing board games, hanging out with my cat, etc etc
