CURRENT MISSION

Learning everything i can about the human brain

ABOUT ME

I'm a medical doctor from İstanbul, currently working as a researcher in Vienna.
Music and philosophy is my passion in life. Usually you might catch me observe various aspects of everyday life deeply in order to capture them completely, while listening to or talking about music :)

I'm a fan of travelling but it could be hard to get me in motion; when you do, i refuse to come back home.

I have a certain moral understanding which most probably determines the way I enjoy my time on earth. I believe everybody deserves attention and quality time of another person. Hanging out alone appeals to me but i avoid doing that tpo often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

I'm a drummer and play guitar and piano as well. Currently I´m the drummer of a Viennese band called CreVassE

I enjoy playing volleyball very much, especially with my brother, who is a professional.

Going for a drink is not a bad idea, talking is even better.
