I had been working for a bank for 11 years and now I quit to see abroad and meet new people and it has been 18 months since I have been travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been traveling for 1.5 years but I did not use couch surfing because I have been meeting locals and other travellers via 'workaway.info' .
I generally volunteered in agricultural places also some Bedouin camps in Morocco and a school in Odessa.
This time I would like to have some couch surfing experience because many people I meet around keep telling me that CS is the ultimate way to meet people; just walking around for some time or have some drinks or accommodation.
At 27th of June I will be at Odessa and the 28th I am planning to move to Kiev. So if you have time to hang out I would enjoy some company.

Interests

If I am travelling I am generally in the countryside via workaway.info volunteering and living with my hosts and experiencing and enjoying their lifestyle.
If I am home in Istanbul I would like to spend my time with friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I generally listen Turkish rap because I find it very acrobatic and protestive. And else I have spent my life by dedicating myself to many genres from time to time differentiating from heavy metal to folkloric music from all over the world so it is very hard for me to specify names but if I had to give one it would be The Doors.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess the best thing about travelling is occasional friendships and sharing stories especially about travelling.
As I have been in Odessa for more than 25 days, I am trying to learn Russian. I can speak English well so language practice would be nice.
I had a rock band back in university and I was singing, not because I had a good voice but no one in the band could be singing😆. So I would joyfully like to learn how to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can speak about Turkey, music, politics or nothing for hours.
I can offer some of my time with gardening if needed.
There will be no problem with the daily home routines. I am a tidy individual
