CURRENT MISSION

To discover new places and people in the shadow of the unknown.

ABOUT ME

I don't care so much about the money. Living the life and saying hello to new experiences have greater meanings than anything else. I can say that I like to live this life in a more old-school way and I love playing instruments in the street. I'm full of music spirit and I have my own songs. I'm addicted to movieology:) I especially love watching independent films of the countries. I'm also interested in philosophy, comics. I don't like aimless people. A human in the earth should have some goals for his/her life. My goal is to put some marks in the world on behalf of my name by music, poetry or philosophy in some way, somehow...

PHILOSOPHY

Life goes on. Don't ruin yourself! Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless like water! Be water my friend!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before being a member of this website, I used to travel a place spontaneously and meet someone there and stay with them. I love spontaneous moments but Couchsurfing can help me much better now to stay at somebody's place during my trip and also to share lots of adventures and stories with the people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies
Especially festival and art movies - I won't list my favorite films because I watch approximately 300-350 films in a year.

Music
Rock/Soft Rock/ 80's Rock/ Heavy Metal
Ethnic/Folk Music
Blues
Classical Music (Beethoven and Mozart are my favorites)
Trip-hop.

If the music is a product of real endeavour, I can get pleasure anyway.

Books
I love Nazım Hikmet, Can Yücel, Edip Cansever, Turgut Uyar and definitely Cemal Süreya. Edgar Allan Poe is my favorite poet in American gothic literature. I also appreciate and love Russian literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't want to write here because it sucks. It should be told by face to face. That's the real joy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching is about learning. It is harmonically done and sharing itself alone sometimes teaches much more things than the speeches and advices. Also you are learning a lot when you share your "things" and soul a lot. Teaching, learning and sharing are the things which are mostly baked together in the same oven.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A couch in a different room and Turkish raki, Bulgarian grape, plum and apricot raki, Thrace Region wines, conversations with many different interests accompanied with tasteful music.

Countries I’ve Visited
