I'm a microbiologist about to start working on my PhD in beautiful Montana, USA. I love my state and am more than happy to chat/give advice/show you around if you make it out that way. Can't really host at the moment because I'm homeless until January when I move to Bozeman for school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for a cheap place to stay in Istanbul this weekend, and afterward would love to help people find the best things to do in Montana!

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh my god, where to start... Some of my favorites right now are Kendrick Lamar, Jill Scott, and D'Angelo for music. Haven't seen a ton of movies lately, but the new Mad Max was great, and I can't wait for Star Ward ep. VII. Just read Ivo Andrić's The Bridge on the Drina during a trip through the Balkans and loved it.
