CURRENT MISSION

To see new places, listen to new languages, interact with new cultures, and meet new people.

ABOUT ME

I love to have a cup of coffee and a conversation. I'm lucky that my job as a teacher allows me to travel as much as I can. I'm looking to meet new people around Istanbul and hopefully crash on someone's couch during my next holiday. Of course my couch is always open if someone needs it!

PHILOSOPHY

I like to meet new people and just share stories and experiences. I'm all about building people up and working together. I hope I am able to leave a smile or a nice memory with everyone I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have an apartment in a nice area of Istanbul that is near to a lot of the tourist sights but just far enough away to get away from the mayhem (traffic) of the major arteries running through the city. You can get to Taksim in 10-15 min by taxi or 15-20 min by bus if traffic is normal.I have a couch or a mattress (single) I can offer up in my living room.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have done couchsurfing with friends of friends but never through this website. A friend told me about it and it sounds like a great idea.

Interests

I love spending time with my friends and sharing laughs. My next travel spot is what I am always looking forward too. In between those times, I teach. Teaching is rewarding but also stressful, so a good book is always nice to have for a relaxing evening.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The fairy chimneys at Cappadocia was an amazing scene.

Teach, Learn, Share
