About Me

I love travel and I can undoubtedly say that it's what motivates me during life. Anytime I find an opportunity to escape, I get my backpack and get on the road again. I love to see new places, new faces and new cultures, because I believe that life is meaningful when we contribute it with experiences and joys while living it. And for that reason, I try to appreciate every moment of life with excitement and love.

Photography is a passion for me. Although I do not have a proper education of photography, I always try to develop my photography skills and pursue new scenes of life to make them immortal in my SD card.

Architecture. It's what I'm going to do to make a living since I was a child. It's my life and what will shape my life in the future. Architecture shapes also people in masses psychologically and sociologically and because of that, I believe that architecture is one of the most significant factors to understand humanity, culture of people in somewhere.

Watching movies is one of my biggest hobbies. As it brings the far lands and seas to my home, it is a great pleasure for me to see those places in the movies as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here in Couchsurfing because I believe that travel should not be solely about going to a city or town and seeing sculptures but living there like locals even for a short period since nothing can replace the experience of living like a local to better understand the culture of there.

I also would like to host people in my home because a traveler guest means a lot of experience and a friendship to share. To host a traveler is as if you're the one traveling even without stepping out of your home since you already have a lot to learn and share with them.
