About Me

Hey!

I grew up traveling a lot, am from 2 places (the US and Turkey) I continue traveling lots and now feel as if I am from 4 or more different places 😂

You could say I'm a digital nomad and have been slow-traveling the world for the last 7 years. Stayed long-term in Thailand, Mexico, Colombia and Brazil

I'm currently focused on building my own businesses, improving my Portugues, and am always working on myself. I feel called to help people learn languages much faster than they think they can. And I aspire to break into the realm of life coaching

I am more on the chill side, resepectful, love nature, deep conversations about life are bound to happen lol

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined 12 years ago, and for me it's all about the incredible connections I've made while hosting, traveling and organizing local events (back in Charlotte, NC)

I've met some of my best friends here, even gone hitchhiking with people I had only known for just a few days prior. It's all about the adventure

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Really just becoming fluent in different languages. I feel like each one gives me a new soul, personality and way of experiencing the world

Someday I'd like to travel to Africa and learn to speak Swahili

Teach, Learn, Share

I can take great photos for you, train you in the gym, and share some amazing food. Pasta with homemade sauce and pizza from scratch are my specialties

I'm also a certified life coach, in case you're feeling lost in life jaja
