About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to eat new food, dance to new music, and wander around a new piece of earth whenever possible

PHILOSOPHY

Its better to be looked over than overlooked;
When choosing between two evils, always choose the one you haven't tried before... and pretty much anything Mae West ever said

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been living in Istanbul for two years and my flatmates have had people stay with us through CS2 but I'm trying it for the first time. Since I'm leaving Turkey, I don't have a couch to offer, but someday I'll have a couch all my own...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

People have stayed at my flat and they've all been very cool people. Everyone I've met through it has had a good experience so... here's hoping!

Interests

When I travel I'm the obnoxious one who wants to see every little shred of history a country has. I also love out-of-the-way bars and cafes. I'm a die-hard reader and am always up for a good conversation. Love to dance, love to eat, am crap at languages but am an expert gesticulator. Interested in politics, music, people, the world, blah blah blah
