ABOUT ME

When my dad asked my dream, I've said to explore the world as much as I can do and my life permits. Getting to know different cultures and natures, getting used to things that are unusual to you and comprehending different perspectives .. To gain all of these and makes a better life on earth, I think what we need is only to be host and "couchsurfing" !!

PHILOSOPHY

Why so serious ? Is it familiar to you ? Yeah !! Joker is right. This is our first and last chance to live on this amazing world then " WHY SO SERIOUS ? "

just have fun and make peace & love.

When you make peace yourself, you make peace with the world. (Maha Ghasananda)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travel abroad experience has begun at my high-school years with Chezch Republic and has kept on my college years at the college years. Whenever I've found a free week I'm trying to organize such abroad trips. I admit that till now much of my journeys have been directed to capital destinations of Nordic, Baltic, Central and NorthernWest Europe. Via Work&Travel program, I've traveled to East side of U.S.A. I've experienced an Erasmus term in Helsinki - Finland and have watched Aurora Borealis at minus 30 degrees. Finally, I've come back my home at Istanbul and most probably at least following couple of years I'll live here and again I have an eye for a journey to Africa and East Asia. However,I do not want to pause cultural exchange and getting know about different people. Till now in all of my travels I've stayed at backpackers hosted sharing the same room up to 24 people (in Barcelona) =D I like to trust people and to be trusted by them and sharing our experiences maybe drinkin a beer such a pub crowl or a relaxing chill stuff (in Amsterdam) or hard parties till early morning (in Copenhagen). My ex roommate has an accont on couchsurfing and he's advised me to have one like that. I've signed up last year but followed a passive user path. However, as I said after my exchange experience I would like to continue to meet different lives from my planet and that's why I return again couchsurfing and decided to follow a active role in here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Actually I'm a freshman at "couchsurfing" but I've been abroad several times beginning with high school years due to an international project. By WAT program, I've gone to U.S. (NY, NJ, Washington, Annapolis, Churchville, Philedelphia, Atlantic City and so on) and then within last 2 years, I've visited lots of European countries. I've preferred to stay in Hostels in my Europe visits. Then I've asked myself that what about "couchsurfing". This is what push me to this adventure !! Since I'm very new here the trustworthiness is a big task for unmeet people as expected. Here is my Facebook profile account: https://www.facebook.com/salihyanikgonul. The ones who think about to travel Istanbul and want to be my guest message me through Couchsurfing or Facebook. I'm very glad to be host to one from all over the world. All you are welcome and be sure that together we have a much of fun!! I
