Hey everyone, I'm Mesut!

I am from Turkey (from the lovely hilly town of Şavşat,Artvin) but i grew up in Istanbul. Currently im a master's degree student in Magdeburg, Germany.
I have been away from couchsurfing for almost 2 years now. Apparently many things changed here (with verification, especially that we have to pay for it now...(!). So if you judge me for this, that would be really sad.

I am a person trying to find meaninig and purpose of "life". I've had many inner turmoils , problems, challenges... I find travelling (especially solo , sometimes but not always) is a good medicine both for body and soul. I am trying to perform it as much as i can, and i decided to start hitchhiking also as often as it is possible as opposed to using conventional options.

I am vegetarian since couple of months (though i cheat once a month!), could talk about history and social aspects, and life in general. I do not like politics at all though more or less i get to read them on news.
I do really like nature activities, i used to do mountaineering and rock climbing and i would like to practice as much as i can. I would also like hiking and trekking, camping in nature and so on.
I am not a member of any religion, however i seem to be interested in Buddhism nowadays..

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I learned CS first time from my friends. I will be honest, i started it because i wanted to meet international people, create a network and get to know more different cultures. But now it is a bit more different.
My purpose here in CS is more to meet likeminded people, preferably with certain knowledge instead of empty-talking (I don't mind at all! However doing it always is not fun :) ), hike around, exchange cultural and spiritiual conversations.

Интересы

My main interests besides travelling are Mountaineering, Rock climbing, trekking and all sort of other nature activities, which i used to perform. Unfortunately i neglected them ever since i moved to Germany.
I am also trying to start hitchhiking, and i would like to meet people with experience!

Музыка, кино и книги

I do not have a particular "favourite" type of music, whatever feels nice to my soul is always good :) But i seem to be listening rock&roll (especiall 70s,80s,90s) a bit more often than others.

I like to read history books, especially ancient history (Greco-Roman, Persia and the area surrounding Europe&Middle east in general). I read Tolkien books also.. read Silmarillion twice and i might do even more :)

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Well, this is hard to answer. It depends on what "amazing" is. I guess i am most amazed when i feel like im helping people...

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I am learning meditation, i am not an expert but at least i am capable of teaching basics (or you can teach me, hehe).
I can of course talk about my country, can tell the places i travelled and advices, my view of life, how to cope with certain challenges in life..

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I can share my nature experiences, talk about cultures, , provide good locations all around the Turkey and previous European countries i have been to before, cook vegetarian and turkish food (unfortunately im not the best one), have some intellectual conversations.
