Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Maya, my room-mate, is a very active couch surfers' host so I have couch surfers in my house frequently. You can also check out her profile. Search for Maya @ Istanbul.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted much more than I've surfed. I think that's because I like being comfortable and free, you know, eat, sleep, wake up when I want to, not feeling like a visitor. Plus I think I get too concerned that I am bugging my host so added that paranoia I prefer to take a hostel, hotel, pitch a tent, etc. The information I get from the locals though; priceless!

My best couch surfing experience was by far in Lisbon with Fernanda. I felt more welcome with her than I do in my own home.

Interests

The universe and everything in it. Galaxies, stars, black-holes. Atoms and molecules. And how they are connected.
Humans and their behavior. Animals, plants, rocks.
I'm extremely fascinated by time, I can just watch it go by in amazement. Can't say I understand it.
