About Me

I really admire people who can write awesome things about themselves here. But I am never satisfied with what I write down(yeah I know everybody starts like this), so this thing is a little bit harsh for me. Anyways, I was born in the gigantic city called Istanbul, I was raised in an urban area, which you can name it concrete jungle(here, I must emphasize I love the place where I lived for 24 years, which is Kadıköy, more than any place in the world so far). I was grown up in the culture which is a mix of Turkish culture and European culture, which I love more than anything in the world. I think the world is a better place because people keep on insisting living their own culture, keep on interacting, and keep on changing their culture, which I always consider a positive one.
It should be useless to mention these, however we live in a world that there are people who are actually not aware of how stupid these things are, so, here you go: I do not believe anybody is superior just because of the place they are born to, the race or the religion they belong. I don't judge anybody for doing anything.
Currently I'm living in Milan, studying here at Politecnico di Milano, and I'm occasionally travelling around Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason I'm on couchsurfing is basically to travel with locals. It means more than anything to me to do what the locals do while traveling. Since I'm a totally extrovert person, and I believe I can somehow build a connection with most of the people, I think it's way much better for a person like me to make new friends while travelling. If I need to give an example for Milan: Everybody coming here and sees the Duomo di Milano, but not everybody goes and eats the best gelato in the world at La Gelateria Della Musica or sees a live blues performance at Nidaba Theatre. You got my point? I want to be the one who is being happy because he introduced someone a special thing, and I'm looking for people who are going to be happy to see me smile after they did similar things for me. I think that's the main reason I'm on couchsurfing.
