CURRENT MISSION

Learning a different kind of lifestyle. I believe that dance is another language between people. It is mentally and physically keep your mood up.My adventure started with Horon which is Greek Folk Dance. Recently switched to Salsa, secondly i learned Kizomba . Currently, my challenge is learning the bachata. Beside dancing I started to ride Motorbike instead of driving car when i was living in Istanbul. It was smartest transport which made me love with Istanbul again. After i moved to Riga. I return my childhood dream again. Biking everywhere!! On the other hand I am learning Russian and Latvian languages.

ABOUT ME

My name is TOLGA. Luganali is my unique name on the web. I like to speak with people, cook for friends, have fun with them.

PHILOSOPHY

if you don not try never know. So try before die.
never give up on your dreams. Listen everybody carefully. try to think like them. Then mix with your ideas.
Write every idea down! and Sleep on it before you decide for important things! ( sometimes for dinner)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hate private hotel rooms.. I had prefered Hostels, before Couchsurfing.. I felt lucky with visitors around the World!! Because most of my guests had nice stories and perspective of life. I am inspired by many things which I can not learn by reading . My pleasure to see How people smile while they talking about their memories. I keen on making surprise and jokes ! bc i addicted to see surprised faces with smiles.. how they think.. So I can open new window to to The Life. The experience is nothing, if you can not share with someone..
