ABOUT ME

I'm a former Peace Corps Volunteer (Azerbaijan 07-09) working towards being abroad again! In the meantime, I'm enjoying the fine wines, organic foods and progressive feel of San Francisco.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've used CouchSurfing twice - once while I was in Turkey and the second time in Romania.

Both times, I really liked the personal touch it gave to travelling and I got to learn more about the people, cultures and places than just seeing the top ten must-see spots. Plus, you get to meet awesome people and experience the cool bars/spots/activities that aren't mentioned in the guide books.

Interests

I like traveling internationally, trying out new food, eating good food, drinking some nice wine, reading, hiking, snowboarding, white water rafting and watching sports...preferably all together.
