The update I procrastinated, as of July 2024 Lo primero es lo primero, ahora aquí se habla español y se ha convertido en mi idioma preferido. He sobrevivido 4 años en Latinoamérica gracias a las personas más amables que he conocido en el camino. A esa geografia le debo una vida. Encuéntrame si puedo ser de ayuda. Definitivamente regresaré allí alguna vez para morir jaja I haven't been able to use this program in the last couple of years due to changes in my life. After living 4 years abroad, now I am back in my hometown. During COVID-19 like many people I suffered as a tourism labourer. I have closed my home, quit the already dead job I have had and moved to Ecuador at random. I didn't know anyone, didn't even speak Spanish. I have had lots of adventures and dramas that in the end I consider myself a defacto Guayaco/Ecuadoriano. I have settled in with family temporarily so unless it's life or death matter i won't be able to do hosting until I move to my own place. But if you are in trouble or believe we definetely should meet, please find me :) The original is below as it was, nothing changed except for my age. ‐------------- Hey everyone. I am very new here. Before that I could not join the community because of my very busy job I had no time for anything. My name is Serhat, 32 years old, born in Istanbul. My one grandmother is Albanian, coming from Bitola, Macedonia. The other one is Circassian, coming from Adyge Republic, Maikop. They migrated long time ago, but both sides still retain the cultural values and elements. Yeah and both of my grandfathers are from Turkey, Eastern and Northern Anatolia. I studied American Culture and Literature in the capital, Ankara University but at the same time I was working for tourism agencies. My profession was organizing meetings, incentive trips, corporate events and such mostly pharma and medicine. Eventually I quitted my faculty when I was on final grade and started working in the same business professionally. After 11 years, I had enough of it. I am currently official jobless having a rest and working as a freelancer with a human resource company supporting such events while getting paid a jobless grant money from the government. I am a world citizen interested in history, philosophy and literature, still looking to find the meaning of life. I am INTP. I believe in Anarchist Communism, a world based on solely solidarity without supreme ruler of any kind. People I deeply respect, Nestor Makhno, Che Guevara, Emiliano Zapata, Errico Malatesta, Farabundo Marti, Buenaventura Durruti, every single member of the Paris Commune... I used to try to do more than believing, though all out of a sudden, a wire was cut only to break the harmony inside. Consequently I gave up everything to start a new life. Found myself as a lone, silent, not fitting person who constantly changes locations as a stupid white collar worker which I abhored deeply. Like Cyrano de Bergerac, I have tried to be everything and became nothing in the end. Following the path of an existentalist, that is optimistic nihilist... Shortly this is the motto: “Life sucks and we are all doomed but this does not mean we cannot enjoy it”. But, I want to see the world burn down. We will find a way, even if we have to wait until all hope is gone, we will find a way to end this madness. I just try to be the best of me and make anything I can touch a little bit better. Sometimes I fail. Other than these, I love beer, coffee, chess and reading. Been in: Quito, Guayaquil, Banos, Manabí, Bogotá, Lima, Buenos Aires, Munich, Paris, Riga, Cairo, Nairobi, Naivasha, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Milan, Lyon, Skopje, Ohrid, Tiran, Baku, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Minsk, Odessa, Casablanca, Marrakech, Dubai, Kuwait City, Kyrenia, all around Turkey

𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐀𝐌? 👤 Well, I guess I fit into the 'young professional in the city' category at the moment, but think that I have a pretty wide background and have a lot of varying future goals. So it might be hard to fit me in a box because I've always had a ton of raw curiosity and excitement about trying new things. One thing I've realized is that every individual brings something unique to the table, and that we can learn something from each other and everyone is on their own path, but we can learn a lot by taking a glimpse at another's. 👣 I have a huge fascination in exploring the world, plunging into adventures and meeting new people. I am totally hooked on globe seeking. I believe that platforms like Couchsurfing provide a unique opportunity to authentically explore new places and learn from different countries while it also is a worthwhile gamble in assuming the best in others that is the reason I am passionate about other´s cultures and gaining new perspectives and I love listening to stories and discussing about the world, different traditions and believes. 🍃 Life, for me, is about frequent migration, making new friends, reconnecting with old friends, reading, writing, and outdoor adventure. Building new friendships with people from around the world is partly why I love traveling and I am convinced that strangers are just friends that you haven't gotten to meet yet. Every walk and trip I have taken, the people along the way have become a great part of the story. And so I am looking forward to connecting with many other humans, and those who have a similar rambling attitudes to life! ✈️ To me, traveling is a continuous process of learning and I attempt to improve and evolve as a person, to achieve bigger goals, to fulfill bigger dreams and live life to the fullest. Traveling reminds me to reconsider everyday decisions and actions, and not take anything for granted and it takes that leap of faith outside of my comfort zone so that I can be stronger and more experienced version of myself. ✨𝑴𝒚 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂 𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒆.
