About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life learnedly

ABOUT ME

I am a PhD student at Cornell University, which is located in upstate New York. I study plants- speciically trees and tree physiology. I grew up in Istanbul Turkey then moved to Vienna Ausria. While I am orignially from California, I have allen in love with the rest of the world and am planning on re-visiting most of it some time soon. Growing up overseas also makes it easy to stay with people from all backgrounds in all different places. In conclusion, I enjoy the company of all people and enjoy each day as it comes.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life learnedly...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to the process, so I'll lean through doing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None to date...

Interests

I play Ultimate Frisbee. Its truly the greatest sport. When I'm not playing sports, I spend most of my time drawing when I'm not reading or working out. There's also nothing like some wine and lots of beer with friends to top off the end of a day or a stressful week.

Music, Movies, and Books

All movies, all music (except country and metal), and I love all books, especially cook books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The pyramis of Giza. The underground city of Capadokia in Asiatic Turkey. Boat trip down the Nile. I climed Mt. Kilimanjaro when I was 18 (sounds kind of pretentions). I went hunting for trees in the Serenghetti. I have lots of sories, so I think I'll stop there.
