CURRENT MISSION

Surf London while I attend school during the summer!

ABOUT ME

Although I wouldn't try do describe myself on a bet, since I have to I'll summarize a bit here :)

I am 24 years old, born from Turkish parents but I've long since stopped being turkish. Born and raised in Sweden my whole life, but I wouldn't even say that I am swedish, just a free spirit.

Starting to do acting for a living, or rather hope to, hence why I want to move to London since Sweden is the last place in the world you want to be if you got an appetite for culture ;-)

I see myself as a suave cool guy, very sociable and get along with people great. I love reading about philosophy and biographies of interesting humans beings who have come before me, and having a good time amongs friends with a good drink, some good food and a lovely cigar after a full meal :)

I love nature, there is a million things to look at and enjoy from nature, especially animals. I actually wanted to be an animal conservationist when I was younger, might pick up on that one day too. Not short of ambitions.

I love traveling, and I plan to sail around the seven seas as soon as I get enough time to get a 30" boat, and see where the winds take me. I am also definitely up for BICYCLING around europe ;-) I love the vagabond lifestyle, and if I can do acting to keep myself afloat while doing it, perfect.

You can also visit my blog at Http://burakenk.blogspot.com which I don't update anymore and don't plan to update in the future either but for some back-logg stuff you can always randomly click on the links if you are curious.

PHILOSOPHY

Go where my luck takes me and be open minded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started out because I need a place to stay at while in London, so I need to surf around. I'd like to find a nice squat preferably.

Since I am living with my parents in Sweden as of writing this I am not 100% sure if I can offer a place to crash but this might change as I get into couch surfing more since I do love to give back just as I receive.

I hope in the near future to give a helping hand, right now though I am looking for surfing the couches like a wave and get tons of experience starting in London!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far unfortunately. Hopefully that'll change though!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled around the states for a little bit. Sitting at the greyhound bus terminal at 2am in NY city talking with a bunch of people, one of whom asked how far away Stockholm is with bus, was amazing. Then taking 20 minute naps on the greyhound bus that was going so fast I thought the driver had stolen the vehicle just to wake up to see 4-5 amish people board the bus made my life. The only thing I could think of then was "made it in americuuh".

New York is an amazing city. Later meting a girl I met in San Diego in Istanbul where we shared a tiny TINY room with THREE beds (wtf?) in a hostel was hilarious. Waking up to our neighbors who were, by the looks of, working in a sweat-shop, trying to peer into our windows hoping to catch some sort of foreign sex-show or something. Hilarious.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't take everything too seriously. Calm down. Use you're common sense and be smart, don't be stupid :)

Quality always over quantity.
