CURRENT MISSION

Working on a phd in anthropology and teaching my dog to do cute tricks (but she didn't come with me on my current trip :/ )

ABOUT ME

i enjoy dark humor, i enjoy narrating my daily activities to myself in my mind. Friendly but bad with directions. full of ideas, a bit lax on their execution.

PHILOSOPHY

"What is flirtatiousness but an argument that life must go on and on and on?"
- Kurt Vonnegut, Jailbird

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I always look for wanderers, wherever we may find one another :)

And! The reason my response rate is low is because some people think that couchsurfing is a dating service, and I only reply to genuine couch requests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met lots of great folks through this project, especially during the year I had a large apartment with plenty of room for visitors! Every surfer has been a joy to host. I've only surfed twice (Thanks, Jen and Marina!), but hope to do so much more in my future travels!

Interests

Almost anything can interest me depending on presentation. i enjoy hiking, swimming and running. also enjoy reading, cooking for other people and conversation over hot beverages

Music, Movies, and Books

books: I used to find reading so exciting/romantic/rewarding. Now that I read and write for a living sometimes it seems like I've lost that joy. So i make sure to pick up novels recommended by good friends every once in a while. Turkcemi iyilestirmek icin de Rehzat C kitaplari okuyorum simdilik.

music: you can judge me by following the following link http://open.spotify.com/user/1260442912

movies: i suppose most of all i like slowly unfolding movies that are about people and their lives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking the Juta pass in Georgia, thinking I would never make it, and being pleasantly surprised at the end of the day when I was still in one piece

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to hang out in the kitchen and make quick but tasty things. Especially for other people!
