I moved back to the U.S. to do my masters after living in Turkey and Spain for a few years. Before that I grew up in Santa Cruz, CA and went to uni in LA. I've also called Maryland, Mexico and South Africa home at different times.

Regresé a California para hacer mi posgrado despues de unos años en Turquía y Salamanca. Antes de este, crecía en Santa Cruz, California y asistía a universidad en Los Ángeles. Tambien he vivido en Maryland, Baja California Sur y Sudáfrica.

Şimdi Kaliforniya'da yüksek lisans okurum. Ben 2014'den 2016'e kadar Malatya'da İngilizce oğretmen olarak oturdum sonra bir sene İspanya'da oturdum. Ben Kaliforniya'lıyım: çocukken Kaliforniya'da oturdum, sonra Meksika'da oturdum, sonra üniversite oğrencisi iken Los Angeles'ta ve Güney Afrika'da oturdum.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've loved hosting friends and being hosted by friends all around the world. I would love to open up those opportunities to the friends I haven't met just yet. And when you've lived in Eastern Turkey, the hospitality really sinks into your being and you cannot help but pay it forward.

He sido un placer a acoger a amigos y para ser acogido por amigos alrededor del mundo. Quiero ofrecer esas oportunidades a los amigos que aún no he concido. Y cuando estaba viviendo en el este de Turquía, la gran hospitalidad se hace un parte de mí y creo que hay que darla a otros.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I look like Aaron Paul from the show Breaking Bad, so that's always exciting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an experienced English teacher, both in the classroom and in private lessons. If you're interested, I'd love to help you learn English, Spanish, or Turkish. I suppose I'm good at lots of other things, so just ask and I'd be more than happy to share my knowledge with you.

Soy un maestro de inglés con experencia en la aula y en cursos privados. Si tienes interés, quisiera ayudarte a aprender el inglés (o un poco de turco). También amo a la fotografía, y puedo darte unos consejos para mejorar tus fotos. supongo que tengo otros talentos y por tanto estaría feliz para compartirlos contigo.

Ben İngilizce ve İspanyolca oğretebilirim. Ben fotoğrafçılığı seviyorum yani ben şu hakkında az oğretebilirim. Sanırım ki ben başka yeteneklerim vardır ve şunlar hakkında size oğretebilirim.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to bring language learning (English, Spanish or Turkish), new flavors and foods (if possible), quality conversation, and lots of positive energy into your home.

Ben sizin evine dil oğrenme (İngilizce veya İspanyolca), yeni yemekler, iyi sohbetler, ve mutluluk getirmek isterim.
