American expat and student of Ottoman History. For the last 2 years I’ve been lived in China and Turkey. I can speak and understand Turkish and am very rusty in Chinese and Italian.

Just trying to live an amazing life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because having local contacts opens up all the secret places and experiences. I also want to connect more with people for practicing languages.

It’s a great place to meet beautiful people.
