About Me

I currently reside in Tallahassee, Florida but have a career that keeps me on the move. A major part of my job involves learning new languages, interacting with different cultures, and traveling - items which also happen to be my interests. I also enjoy meeting new people, telling my story, and learning about their's. When I'm not working, I like to watch fun shows on Netflix, cook Japanese cuisine, and read. I'm hoping the Couchsurfing experience will provide me an opportunity to meet interesting people as I visit new locations for work and personal growth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have the travel bug and I love meeting new people! Being as my career takes me to so many different places, I hope Couchsurfing will be a means by which to make new friends as I pursue my ambitions.

Music, Movies, and Books

All kinds of music, foreign and domestic :)

I'm not gonna lie, I am terrible with movie trivia! However, my preferred categories would be comedy, drama, and anything with a deep, heartfelt story.

Currently reading about the life of Mustafa Kemel Ataturk, the man who founded the republic of Turkey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the chance to skydive over ancient ruins near Izmir in Turkey!

Teach, Learn, Share

When learning other languages, you always find similarities from one language to another by chance.

For example: The word meaning "good" in Japanese is "ii" (pronounced like ee as in 'speed'). The word "good" in Turkish is "iyi", and is pronounced the same as the Japanese "ii".

What I Can Share with Hosts

interesting stories, anything they'd like :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Greece, Japan, Turkey
