In summer he generally stays in Yoğurtçu Park/Moda Beach and in Bahariye, Nazım Hikmet street in winter and contributes to recycling. He wanders around Kadıköy all day long; he states that no matter what he is happy with his life, he will not give up on his life as long as he stands on his own feet.
