I am an easygoing and adaptable guy from Ankara, Turkey. I am often told that I am a people person, but I also enjoy the tranquillity of solitude.

I am a cadet pilot and a part time English translator at the moment. In my line of work as a translator, I have had to communicate with foreigners from all walks of life from various countries, cultural contexts, and ages.

As an avid reader, I have always been fond of books. I am proud to say I am actively involved in an online international book club focusing on fiction.

I often remind myself that life only consists of the present day.

I love crisps so much that my friends call me the connoisseur of crisps

I live with my family at the moment so I am not available to host anyone yet. But in the future, why not

I don't smoke.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know many people from all over the world and listen to their stories and of course to share mine
