CURRENT MISSION

Survive odd Istanbul jobs

ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME RIGHT NOW: I'm an English teacher currently living in Istanbul, planning a trip through the Balkans with my boyfriend. We're working together to discover amazing places -- he's writing a guidebook, and I'm doing illustrations! Yay!

ABOUT ME IN GENERAL: I got a major case of TRAVEL BUG while teaching English in the Republic of Georgia 2 years ago, and love this region of the world so much I want to marry land. Marry dirt. Eat dirt. Does anyone read this. Dirt Love. I am a Dirt Bird Woman. CA-CAW, CA-CAW! I want to see and experience as much as I can before returning to America!

CA-CAWWWWWWWWW!

PHILOSOPHY

I FEEL THINGS LIKE FIGS. I LIVE LIKE A FAST SLOTH. I LOVE LIKE A DESK CHAIR. I SUPPORT. I ENCOMPASS AND I ECLIPSE.

I'm sensing a lot of overlap in these profile questions. I guess I believe in being courteous and curious and kind. I also believe that Cs and Ks should be interchangeable.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

BY SURFING! And occasionally hosting. I AM A TRAVELING BIRD WOMAN CA-CAWWWW

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am leaving Istanbul very shortly, but we have hosted more than a few people at our flat here. I decided to get an account of my own because I had such luck couch-surfing around Turkey with my friends! I met so many wonderful people in South-eastern Turkey, and through couch-surfing in Istanbul.

I hope to surf around the Balkans this summer :)

Centres d'intérêt

TRAVELING THE SKIES LIKE A BIRD WOMAN. EATING FOOD. FOOD IS SO GOOD. I require very little to be happy (if I can argue that international travel is little!)

• writing
• illustrations
• dining
• traveling
• drawing
• surfing
• teaching

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

SO MUCH INTEREST. I mean, I promise I won't bother you with any of it! Except I totally will.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

All things are amazing for me because I am a bird woman.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Dudeeeeee, a university? Sweet. I can teach bodyboarding in wave-y oceans and simple English things, for example if you are a kindergarten. Also anyone can learn to draw. PEACE.
