About Me

Really laid back guy, that like sto travel around the world. Looking forward to have an easier access to the world of couch surfing. Ive been couch surfing without this website and it is quite hard to do that but i hope with the help of this site and awesome people around the world traveling will be much easier. I am a History teacher and I educate kids from 7 to 9th grade. It is a lot of fun and teaching have always been one of my strengths. Why should someone hold back if there is a possibility to teach someone something new.

My passion in life is movies. Ive worked as a colorist in various of movies and commercials, later on 2016 im directing my first feature film, if everything goes as planned. Lets cross our fingers, right. I am very easy going and laugh most of the times, i like to live life like it is the last day. I love meeting new people around the world an learn something about them and their cultures hence why couch surfing is so fun. So many stories around the world and so many personalities.

While I am on trips around in the world I usually spend my days outside exploring the place I live in. Trying to really get to know the culture and the people. I have an really old 35mm camera that i bring with me to photograph people and various of things too.

I am born and raised in Sweden Stockholm, but my heritage is from Turkey. I also live in Istanbul for a while.

I love listening to good music, when people ask me what i listen for, i cant really say a genre. I usually say what sound good for me is good for me. So it can be anything I am open for the experiment of always trying new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why not? :) . It is a really fun way to have a nice trip to get to know a local and see how they live and how their life is. How the people of that particular city live like. The tourist traps and the cookie mold hotels is boring. There is a different joy staying at someone else's.

Interests

Movies ,television series, music, hiking, exploring, meeting new people, analog photography.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music is a hard choice what sounds good for me no matter genre is good for me. Might also have to do with the mode i am in too. My all time favorite movies is without a doubt Pulp Fiction, its thanks to Tarantino I found my life passion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Buying a almost near to dead car in California and together with a couple of friends being on the road for a month staying in all kinds of cities around in CA, no money no place to sleep. Just find our way trough the days couch surfing working for food etc. Was extremely fun.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach extremely much about cinema and history of cinema, once i get started it does not end, my passion for cinema is much. I like to learn everything life is short and one should be open to learn new things. I am a hell of a cook, when it comes to turkish and swedish cuisine i am the master chef :) .

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot, wait and see, if there is time for both ofc :) . I can be really deep if a feel i connect with someone really fast. And I never had a problem with sharing of things that i know.
