Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is country music and I have recently taken interest in Middle Eastern music. I am interested in Turkish pop. I like comedy movies and I like books about politics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During the summer of 2014, I received a scholarship to study Turkish in Ankara, Turkey. I lived with a Turkish family for a summer and made many Turkish friends. That experience really opened my eyes to a different culture.

Teach, Learn, Share

It is important to teach our experiences to others so we can learn about others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share great stories of where I have been so far. I can also share my passion for other cultures and maybe I can teach them words in languages that I speak.
