I am Engin. I grewn up in Ankara(capital of Turkey) but I live in Izmir since 2008. I graduated Turkish Literature and Language at university. I like Literature a lot. I started write poems when i was studing in primary school. I think work as a teacher in a highschool in near time. . My philosophy about Life is '' We should learn everything and discover everywhere during living. '' Life is not for do same things everyday for me. I adore meet new people and learn new life styles. ! This is a reason of why i am in Couchsurfing !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My biggest hobby is discover new countries , new cities and new people. I want travel all of the World since when i was a kid.Maybe believe is difficult but I started read some things about travel when i was 8-9 ages. Maybe because of my horoscope.:)(I am Gemini.) I'm on couchsurfing for discover different places and local people in this places. I thought if i stay in a hotel while travelling i won't meet real people of countries easily. By the way i won't discover anywhere really. And I thought stay hostels too but i can't sleep among people more than 7-8 easily. I know myself. If i stay in any hostel i will see travellers like me and they are not local people , they are from all of the World. I don't like be alone while travelling too , I have friends for travel but They are not local people. If i don't spend time with anyone i can feel bored in travel.
