About Me

It's been a long time since I didn't use the Couchsurfing website, now I am back to give it a try, because I like traveling and meeting people from different cultures...

Sometimes I can offer a couch, but it's not very often. I don't mind if you read the whole profile or not, if you are a member of the CIA or the KGB, I will accept you anyway (if I am not in a very bad mood, and I am actually there, in my place), everyone is a good person. But why terrible things happen all over the world? Is the killer, the rapist, the violence, a matter of consciousness? Is nature terrible in itself? Is human being a terrible monster? Do we have to tame our mind?

I find everything in life is so interesting! I enjoyed with yoga, meditation, music, literature, travels, dancing (need to improve this skill), everything... Now I want to live the present moment, without fear, attachment or aversion,,,,,,,,,,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day I saw an old man sitting in the street, I thought he was not feeling good. I try to help him, and he got angry. Another day I saw another old man on the floor. I helped him getting up, I couldn't speak with him, because he was turkish and there was a language barrier. He went by himself, waling like a drunkard.

Refraining from speaking with topics about different cultures. Everyone is asking where are you from, and then they have pre-judgements.
