About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finish my phd while traveling around the world .

ABOUT ME

I am working as a computer engineer and try to finish my phd on renewable energies but I also have desire to go anywhere in the world and discover different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a fan of Ursula K. Le Guin. A quote in her novel The Dispossesed briefly explain my philosophy: "to be whole is to be part, true voyage is return."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Before starting to travel around the world with my girlfriend, we want to host the other travelers to enlight our dreams of travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately, hosting only two times with my girlfriend.

Interests

I like to travel a lot, also in my travel I am trying find interesting spots for my hobbies kitesurfing, diving and cycling. Sometimes I just like to walking & cycling the streets of a city and try to live a day in this city just like a local.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a computer and electronics engineer expert but I dont think this experience make a sense for other people unless u have a broken computer. :) Also I am kitesurfer and a scuba diver but unfortunately I am not a instructer yet. :( On the other hand, I think I have some experience as a result of traveling around the world and get the knowledge of the other people and I like to spread these experiences to the other people. Also I can explain a lot of thinks about how to live in Istanbul (a secular muslim city) also I give u a lot of information if you are planning to visit other places in Turkey.
