Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Living in a place like this I get real relatives poppin'out from all over Turkey and rest of the world,who doesn't even know my name.I'll rather give a couch to who'll appreciate,relative or not.Summer of '07 I had a dispute with my lovely wife and we decided to split,instead feeling down I was having a blast with one of my friends from New York who comes every year to visit us.every day going out to the different beaches,taking boat trips to islands and coves,eating out,drinking raki.So,at one of those trips we met your member 'aniarenia' we started to hang out together then she told me they put her back-pack to the door at the pansion where she was staying.I offered her,I 've got a room with a key & the couch which she can stay as long as she wants.She agreed and stayed couple more days in Fethiye we had a lot of fun here.Then she left to Antalya to a CS member,but experienced some difficulties and I was there to help.I again arranged a place in my friends' house.They showed her around and I took her to cloud 9.I wasn't even a member yet but she became my very first CS guest.The whole thing sounded like I'm bragging about my self but No,I'm bragging about one of the most important values of this nation;HOSPITALITY!!!
All I ask in return;wanna be remembered when a word "FRIEND" mentioned.

Interests

I get the biggest kick doing 30mph(48.2km.)with my bicycle,building 1/48 airplanes(I have 90 so far)swimming,diving,receiving and giving thru intelligent conversations,helping others as much as I can afford.Turkish bread,Turkish tea,raki,meat and heat :-)
