About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Complete my Thesis Project

ABOUT ME

I actually find it hard to write a few things about myself but here it goes: I am into cinema, design, photography and literature. I'd describe myself as nice, friendly and easygoing. I know life has many things to offer and willing to take the chances. I like setting goals and achieving them since self-improvement gives me a great pleasure. I've studied philosophy and film studies in college and now I am doing my masters degree in an mfa program about media and design. I am making very small budget short films as a hobby for now but thinking of turning it into a career. I am a good listener. I am a free spirit. I'd like to think I am mostly fun; I can enjoy a night out with friends, drinking and partying as much as I can a nice and quite evening at home, chatting and relaxing.

PHILOSOPHY

I do know that a good meal, good company and a good partner can make your life worth living. I find it very important to travel as much as I can since it is the ultimate source of knowledge and experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing and hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed many couches around the world and my overall experience was great so far. I am also hosting people for a few years in my sweet home in Ankara (although last year, I couldn't even login to couchsurfing since my schedule at school was hectic) and met so many great people!

Interests

I like old and new books, poetry, films, science-fiction, cooking, architecture, photography, writing, museums, art, music, traveling, exploring new cultures and making new friends.
