Почему я на Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My first introduction to Couchsurfing was through my close friend in Istanbul. I joined him a few times when he took his guests around. I always loved cultures and people, so, this was a great place for me. Then my own journey started. I move to New Zealand and made so many friends in the Auckland Couchsurfing community. I love to be part of this amazing ever growing friend circle, so many beautiful connections... My very first Couchsurfing experience as a guest was way after all. I was hosted by wonderful people and this platform grew even bigger for me.

Одно удивительное, что я сделал
Skydiving in Auckland. It was sooo good. Even though I'm not an adrenalin person, I loved it. Rescued by helicopter while hiking the Routeburn Great Walk in 2020. That was such a full-on, continuous rain and I was one of the hikers to be rescued since the walking path couldn't be crossed, blocked by a waterfall.

Мои интересы
I love reading so much and unfortunately, I don't read as much as I used but especially reading more during Covid lockdowns, I confirm reading is an utter joy for me. Writing is how I express myself, and how I learn and process life. It can be painful but rewarding. I fell in love with hiking in New Zealand. I always loved walking but going up became a passion within the last ten years and where I go I want to hike. I put some learning and time into photography long ago, and even though I still love capturing amazing frames I don't pursue anything further than pleasing myself with photography. I almost like any type of music but especially rock sounds. I'm not a great all the time music listener but I love concerts, festivals and live music events. I love playing sudoku, word games and learning Spanish these days (end of 2022).
