CURRENT MISSION

Exploring myself

ABOUT ME

I am a focused person, and love working towards things. I think life is better and easier if you do it in steps and embrace your life as it changes and times change. I think we are the only people in charge of our own happiness, and I believe in living externally and seeing the bigger picture to help put your life in context.

Travelling and new places, cycling, movement - these are the things that make me happy. Oh, and pizza.I have a hard time remembering names but I usually remember faces. I'm a visual person.

To someone who doesn't know me I may look serious, but I really do like to have fun and laugh - teach me some good (or bad) jokes!

PHILOSOPHY

Suck the marrow out of life. Enjoy people, enjoy experiences and enjoy the moments so many take for granted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't currently host couch surfers but I would love to meet up, share experiences and verbally shower with the must see's and do's of Turkey. You can also always count me in for an adventure around Turkey.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have oepened my account at 2011 but not used it. Now i want to give a try. and These days I am no longer surprised that couchsurfing has managed to weasel some of the coolest people ever out of hiding. It's wonderful to meet up with other people who understand traveling on a budget, the need to experience truth in other countries and who are always so kind and willing to share crazy stories and brilliant discoveries.

Interests

t's gotten to the point where watching a good film can NEVER be classed as "procrastination". I can watch bad films if they have good cinematography and have been filmed somewhere interesting.UPS almost i forgot i am a visual director, i like photography and i made some clips. and I really enjoy live music, and would far rather go to a good concert then an expensive club. I love dancing - any kind, of COOKING! I love mango, and think it goes with absolutely everything. I also firmly believe that humans have a separate stomach for dessert. I love reading and listening to music and I really want to learn how to play the cello one day. I gravitate towards anything outdoors -Camping is too wonderful for words and rivers still turn me into a frolicking, rock-hopping six year old.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fireflies in our hut at night during a hike up the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Watching the sunset with monsoon thunderstorms in the distance over stone temples in Sri Lanka.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know some really incredible hiking places in Turkey. I would love to learn to surf and skateboard. I really want to improve my Electro Guitar Skills. If you know anything about making films and photography I would LOVE to meet you. I really want to learn to play the cello, and the piano. I am always interested in hearing new music and watching new films. I would love to learn how to bake proper pastries and cook real Indian curries (the cookbooks and internet lie, they don't make masala like the Indians do...). And gardening! Now with Far East tour i am very interested about massage and martial arts... (already tried aikido := )

What I Can Share with Hosts

More over, I don't care, I mean I really couldn't give 2 shits if you are straight, bi, trans, religious, an athiest, a heathen, a democrat, a republican (I'm sorry!) or simply experimenting with everything and trying to find your way. Just be cool, open - minded and come from a place of curiosity rather than judgment and we will get along fine! i do my best to give...
