Hi, I’m Serkan Baran, a construction engineer based in Westervoort near Arnhem. I’m a curious and compassionate soul who loves exploring the world, connecting with people, and embracing life’s simple joys. Nature, authenticity, and meaningful connections inspire me. I’d describe myself as a blend of reflective and independent traits, with a grounding Virgo energy and an INFJ-A personality. 🙏

My life motto: Show compassion, be kind and humble, treat others fairly, create harmonic change, stay peaceful, follow joy and love, cultivate awareness, support others, seek balance, live with integrity, be present in the moment, and reach transcendence.​

I have taken below notes for myself in order to understand universe and existence better. You are welcome to read, discuss and give me feedback.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

“Which is more important,” asked Big Panda, “The Journey or The Destination?”
“The Company!” said Tiny Dragon.

10th Principle of Elysmic Philosophy - Meaning Through Connection:
While we each find our own path to meaning, we are all part of a shared human experience. Through connection with others, we find collective purpose and mutual understanding, realizing that meaning is often forged in relationship and community.

The meaning of life is to resonate in harmony with the Universe.​​ It is not to conquer the universe, but to move in rhythm with it — to be a conscious note in the song of Eternal Energy. (SBO)

Live authentically and make your dots. Meaning will emerge not from what you plan, but from what you truly are. When you grasp the absurdity of World and stop chasing ultimate meaning, meaning finds you in quiet moments of creating authentic bonds. (SBO)
