I am a free spirit by choice, a gentleman by principle, and a curious soul who thrives on exploration and meaningful conversations. Life has taken me on an extraordinary journey, full of challenges, resilience, and adventure. I had the honor of serving as an Auxiliary Police Officer in New York, leading a disaster response team with the American Red Cross, and participating in the rescues during the tragic events of September 11. I even played a role in the rescue of the airplane that landed in the Hudson River. These experiences shaped me, teaching me the value of courage, compassion, and teamwork. In October 2022, my life changed drastically when a freak accident with a glass door resulted in the loss of part of my leg below the knee. But what I’ve learned since then is that the toughest obstacles aren’t physical, they’re mental. With a prosthetic leg and a robotic foot, I’ve embraced life more than ever: driving down open roads, camping in the mountains, and chasing adventure wherever it calls. What I Offer: Stories Worth Sharing: From rescuing lives to redefining my own path, my journey has been one of resilience and rediscovery. Genuine Connection: I enjoy meaningful conversations, shared laughter, and creating lasting memories. A Taste of Adventure: Whether it’s exploring the outdoors or facing the unexpected, I’m always ready for an adventure. If you’re someone who values unique experiences, open-mindedness, and a taste of life off the beaten path, let’s connect. Adventure awaits, and I’d be thrilled to share it with you.

I'm Selcuk, live in Malaga almost a year and would like to get to know cool people. Well, I guess, that's about it :))
CURRENT MISSION sunsets and laughs hunter ABOUT ME I'm currently doing an itinerant international master program in Europe, but I'd be glad to help with info about DR... :0) I just try to enjoy and learn with fun and humor. I'm madly in love with smiles, nature, music & all arts. I'm a dreamer and a believer. Outdoorsy, quite spontaneous and often called curious-crazy-monkey =P. Sunsets & hugs' fanatic. Love dancing, traveling and living as a citizen of the world, sharing my culture with people and learning from theirs. PHILOSOPHY - The essential is invisible to the eyes - Viver!!! e não ter a vergonha de ser feliz... Cantar e cantar e cantar. A beleza de ser um eterno aprendiz... - Take a walk on the wild side - Whatever you wanna do, do it now... timing is the answer to success! - Want a better world? start the change yourself - Unperfection is beautiful. It's human. It's happiness. - Grateful, always grateful... - Be like water, my friend :P

I've been traveling on and off, running a successful online business and writing about experiences for open-minded people. I enjoy getting to know different cultures around the world so I try to do it at least a couple times a year. I also love to show the beauty side of Santo Domingo and Zona Colonial, where I live, to incredible travelers passing by and make their time here as fun as possible.
I consider myself a very respectful and unbothered person. TELEGRAM @yruel Most of the time, I can be quite reserved and introverted (so Let's say I'm kinda getting out of my comfort zone here, so don't trust the reviews that much ;) Despite it, I believe communication is the key, I dislike ghosting, patronizing, entitling and gaslighting manners /treats. I have fun in my own way. I love culture in general, as I'm always willing to know new places and their customs. In my free time, I usually enjoy cinema, reading, walking, sightseeing, good at solving sudoku puzzles, riding a bike, listening to podcasts, watching and attending sports matches (especially basketball and tennis), always up for a good place to eat and enjoy silence if there is nothing relevant to talk about, a good cup of coffee or smoothie Sorry to disappoint you if you are trying to find the typical local, I'm not the average Dominican or Island/ Caribbean girl, I'm not into either dancing or drinking as much, I'm not excessively talkative or very social, I can give dancing a try at times, but can't guarantee a nice experience for your legs/foot *insert recorded laugh*. I truly believe that you can have fun and have a nice time without fueling the moment with alcohol or any drugs, you either have fun or escape from your reality, not both ;) I can take you where the dancing and all the social stuff is, I drink casually (not much, sometimes none depending on current mood and peers vibe). I'm continuously learning to swim/cook, drive, and french (these are constant battles and continuous goals for me, oh let's face it, maybe I haven't been disciplined enough :p) I'm not religious, maybe more spiritual than anything, but I'll respect your religion whatever that is, as long as it does not interfere with common sense and being a good citizen, I'm not atheist, not agnostic, hate those silly labels btw. My favorite quote was told and written by Eleanor Roosevelt "Nobody can offend you without your consent" and I try to live it up to the fullest and embrace it. Disclaimer: I can be a little sarcastic and playful at times (Of course, when I feel confident enough or have known you for quiet some time). I ridiculously smile a lot. It does not mean I am happy all the time or that I like you. I'll drop my sincere and honest review or recommendation in your profile when I feel is appropriate or when and If I feel like it, I don't believe I'm obligated to give/receive a review just because you did so or I did so. I have written reviews in surfers that have hosted me or I have hosted and have not received a review back and vice versa and that's ok, I don't take it as a personal attack, and neither should you, don't like begging for this as coins or likes. Anyways if you decide to do it or ever do, please add your review in your native language preferably. NOTES: If we have not met yet, do not bother sending the friend request. It doesn't matter if you got a green check. Although we can interact and keep the lingo sending private messages with each other until that moment happens, that would be a good place to start. If you finished reading all this, we may bond.
