About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am seeking for unprejudiced shiny people to spend my time with

ABOUT ME

I am from Black sea region of Turkey. People from that region are known as very lively and bubbly. Yes I am some kind of the same but not exactly. Life and my experiences have calmed me down.
I love travelling and getting to know new cultures, having fun and various talks with people.
I love hanging out, drinking, reading, listening to music, dancing, eating and discussing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I got the idea from a friend and very much appreciate it now for I am really happy to have met all people I got to know through CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first tried it in Oslo where I met my Greek Turkish friend. He was an awesome guy and so kind to welcome me and my two friends. This idea of CS is great; mutual understanding and traveller's spirit are expanding this way.
Only when you experience it you can feel and believe in it, otherwise it sounds unrealistic :)

Interests

I love drama and communication. I am interested in how drama can improve the communication.
I like literature, especially postcolonial one.
I like observing people and the factors in behaviours. Additionally, I love trekking in wild areas. I take all opportunities to wake up early in the morning to go to the mountains
