Living in old-city of Istanbul, maybe called as a city-flaneur.

I like road trips, old libraries, temples, history, literature, wooden furnitures, bikes, reading Murakami and Wittgenstein. Murakami reads Wittgenstein as well.

I do feed some plants at home.

I'll find Wittgenstein's cabin soon. (Done!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't had a chance to have a proper vacation for a long time and this summer I'll have one!

I want to meet local people and travel around the cities like a local. I'm not into tourist attraction listed elsewhere, I'm looking for small genuine details of the city.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books I like: The Dispossessed, Kafka on the Shore, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales...
