Please please please don't try to treat this like tinder. If I wanted that I would just use tinder...

Teaching High School Art here in Istanbul!
American, but I grew up in Turkey, Uruguay, Croatia, El Salvador and Austria. Worked in Hong Kong, Japan and China.
Mostly my own art is wood and steel sculpture, but I haven't had access to the necessary toold for a while so I've been doing a lot of painting.
I love going out, watching movies, hiking, dodgeball, riding horses, creating my own art, exploring, going to the beach... everything basically.
I'll eat almost anything you put in front of me and never say no to another shot of jaeger

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to make some new friends for going out or exploring the city! There's so much Istanbul has to offer and I don't mind doing things on my own, but I'd really like some new friends to go on adventures with!
