CURRENT MISSION

To make the World seem a little bit smaller, one day at a time...

ABOUT ME

I love talking and hearing about new cultures, new places, new perspectives on life.

I hope to work in Development in the Global South / Developing World.

I'm into learning new languages and sharing my love of music as I think they are the best way to begin to understand someone else's culture.

I think I am pretty open-minded and easy to get along with, although I guess that's for you to decide! :)

PHILOSOPHY

There are two sides to every coin.

Every new person I meet brings their own perspective on life and, potentially, a new pair glasses to view it through.

You can't always believe your eyes. Dig a little deeper.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to CouchSurfing but I hope/plan to become an active member, both surfing and hosting. After hearing about it a couple of years ago, I wisk I'd gotten involved sooner. Better late than never!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've completed my maiden CS trip hitchhiking across Southern Turkey a year ago...

Special thanks to Hasan, Guner, Mesut, Halil and friends, Devon and friends, Mucahit and Huseyin -- and everyone else who lent a helping hand along the way -- for making it so memorable!

To Chris, Maresz, and Mirka... ...we'll always have Anadolu! ;)

Interests

At the moment (and in a state of constant flux):

Music from all over the world, language learning, Photography (Digital and Lomo), Film (all sorts but I love foreign language film), discussion/debate, eating/cooking, travelling, football, most other sport, philosophy, politics, theology and the nature of belief, spiritualism...
