CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people, hear their stories, share my stories, and explore the world!

ABOUT ME

My name is Ariel and I am currently a freelance graphic designer / exchange student living in Istanbul, Turkey. I'm originally from New Orleans, LA but attend university in Boston, MA. Because of my roots, I am a very easygoing, respectful, adventurous, considerate, and sociable - I enjoy having good conversations, sharing nice meals, and getting to know a culture the real way!

As you can probably tell, I am new to CS and haven't met many people / had a surfing experience yet. For this reason, I am happy to Skype or share my social media to all hosts. Unfortunately, I am unable to host at the moment while studying abroad because I am sharing a flat with another Turkish student and we are very busy ladies! But, if you find yourself in Istanbul, please feel free to meet me for a cay or efes.

PHILOSOPHY

"Ease my fears, tease my ears."
I love music, all genres, and use it as a means of calming down or exploring different cultures.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been lucky to travel a lot throughout my life and it has always been a strong passion of mine - however, being an American student makes financing my travels a bit more difficult and so I have turned to couchsurfing for that. As well, I love meeting new people and learning more about different culture.

兴趣

I enjoy podcasts, cooking, concerts / music festivals, DIY, design, sharing stories, politics, whiskey, crocheting, blogging, collecting vinyl, thrifting, picnics, futbol, reading, printmaking, making music, skiing, hiking, swimming, & traveling!!
