Hi,

I‘m Serdar, 32 years old, and studying the lessons of life.
And my Philosophy is a rather simple: Why not!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I just logged in into my profile, I realized that I created that profile nearly ten years ago. Back then I travelled quite a bit around Europe, often via hitchhiking, but then often stayed either a people I knew, I met, at hostels or in the outside. So I never had to use it.
Later on I had a rather lethargic phase, which luckily passed, and I want to see more of the world. As I’m a communicative and outgoing person, I believe that Couchsurfing would fit me rather well, so I at least want to try it out. So yeah, that’s the reason I’m here.

Interests

• relaxing
• conversation
• information

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the ‘fin-de-millennium’ (does that word exist?) classic movies like Leon the Professional, Matrix, Fight Club, which transport more subtile meanings than explosions. But I’m open about that.
In books I prefer non-fictional ones, and am building my own library right now. Should be more than a thousand by the time I write this. Yes, I enjoy books :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That’s really hard to choose, as there are many, being 32 years old, and a rather spontaneous, enjoying-the-moment person. Maybe when I slept on a roof of a little boat in a Gracht in Amsterdam. Or being able to speak with people in Italian after having spent four days there. Or teaching a blind, disabled guy maths at 4am in Barcelona. Or... what about You ask me personally and I tell you when me meet :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Recently I’ve been told about the 80-20 principle in knowledge. That is, that it takes 20% of the effort to learn the first 80% of a topic, and the remaining 80% effort are needed to perfect the knowledge in that field. To be honest, I’m a person who usually stops with the 20%, and then move on to the next pieces of information I can gather :) I can tell you it’s a great tool to keep conversations afloat :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

The experience of being the best friends, although having just met, on a journey, this journey being paradoxically the most personal thing and something gaining value just when being shared with others, only to split ways thereafter, not knowing if there’ll be a next...

Countries I’ve Lived In
