Hello world - My name is Mehmet Ali. I am from Turkey but live in Moscow. It is one of coolest cities in Russia! I love a lot of things ranging from modern art, to music, to meeting new friends and showing them my city, to just a cool, relaxing night watching TV or a movie discussing life experiences with cool people! I am a professional, outgoing, well-educated, well-travelled, and fun young man here from Turkey originally :). Enjoy meeting new friends and people from all around the world and learn about their culture and experience in life! Write me back and would love to hear more from you and possibly show you the city of Moscow when you visit!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to participate in CS because I think it's such a great website to get to know people from different parts of the world, through the lens of locals. It's given me the opportunity to take part in connecting to the world through hosting and surfing wonderful people from all around the world.

I look forward to contributing more by hosting, surfing, and of course eating local food, drinking local drinks, and partying with my surfers and hosts whenever and wherever we can :) Life is too short, and I cherish it everyday! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned how to listen to others patiently. Everyone needs a ear once in a while, you just have to know how to listen.

Teach: Develop an abiding and investigatory interest in yourself and the universe. Nothing provides as strong a sense of purpose and direction as a well-researched personal philosophy.

Learn: To appreciate the wonder in all things.

Share: Good times, good food, ideas, strong feelings, and your couch. If one doesn't share, they might as well be dreaming.

What I Can Share with Hosts

New places to explore, my favorite bars, museums. quality drinks, new experiences, shows and things that make me love Moscow.

Also love to just converse and exchange life stories. Love to share life goals, inspirations and dreams.

A warm, friendly, fun home in Moscow or connections to someplace safe and sound.
