I'm one of the most motivated people out there, and I don't exaggerate.

I love life. I work as a software developer at a vibrant start-up in Copenhagen. One of my favorite quotes that pretty much sums up my life philosophy:

"In the end, only three things matter:
How much you loved,
How gently you lived,
And how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you."
- Gautama Buddha

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Being with the locals makes everything better! I love to listen about the city from the other part. Also it feels nice to share what I've learnt in life so far with other people and see their take on those, always inspiring.

Intereses

I love exploring about anything that makes me wonder. I love music, colors, sunsets. I love the ability to make my mind calm by meditation. I LOVE dancing like nobody is watching. I love photography, I stop by every corner in Copenhagen to take photos and then I'm late to wherever I'm going, no regrets though. I also write, you can check my stories on Medium here:

Algo increíble que he hecho

I was 19, I quit dentistry to become a computer scientist when all my family was against it and never supported me in any way, moral or material . Took the university exam again, got a good grade, studied Computer Science in the top university of Turkey, found a job in Copenhagen right after, moved there (from my hometown that I've spent all my life) without the blink of an eye, and have been managing to survive and be happy since then. This is amazing to me because it takes a lot of dedication, persistence and self-discipline.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I love to ask questions in general. That's actually because I like exploring so much. Talking to (new) people about their life experiences is always informative and interesting to me. So teaching, learning and sharing are the some of the best things in life I would say!

I did Argentinian tango for 3 years and performed in some festivals, so I can teach you some moves about that!
