CURRENT MISSION

"To struggle and to search, to find and not to give up!!"

ABOUT ME

"Improve yourself and realize who you are before you meet someone and hope he would understand you" (G.G.Marques)- My life's credo!!!

Now I can say about me that I'm very sociable, attractive and maybe yes, an interesting person, looking for new friends, no matter where they are from. And of course, modest too! %-)

PHILOSOPHY

The Great Scorpions sing "Life goes by faster than lightning strikes, crashes before you can say 'Goodbye'..." So I think it's very important to remember it and try to be glad or even happy to just wake up every day and see that the sun has come up again...
In other words DO NOT hang up on minor problems!!!! (anyway i do it all the time hehehehe)

At the same time I'm desperate optimist (who knows maybe if i fell from the skyscraper i'd cry "I'm flying!!!")

About love - I believe that real love stories never have endings. As love just cannot die inside our heart. But it's mistake to test it. You can test honesty, loyalty or smth else in others but not love.

About dreams - "You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however." Richard Bach

"It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams." Gabriel Garcia Marquez

About hope - Don't make so many efforts - the best always happens unexpectedly! And remember all happening has its reason!

About relationships - People will forget what U said & even what U did, but they will never forget how U made them feel...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To tell the truth, I'm not that active here, i mean i don't travel much recently and don't surf couches but i used to be glad to meet people in SPb and even now as i live in Ankara i'd love to meet people here to roam round the city... when my studying schedule allows, of course

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Attended couple of CS meetings
Used to meet CSers in Saint-Petersburg sometimes
Travelled to Finland and India with CS, was FUN!!!!
Nowadays try to travel through Turkey a bit.

Interests

I don't have much time for hobbies, but I enjoy doing sports - horse-riding, mountain-bicycle (my current passion), swimming, volleyball (though a history now); sometimes I like to play billiard (american pool), chess, backgammon, reading and so on and so on... but in ordinary time while in Spb it would had been just work all the time and now in Ankara it's Turkish lessons and home activity :-)))...
