Couchsurfer since 2008!

I love a great conversation with funny, goofy, funky, philosophical, political, spiritual people. I love making music and jamming with people. I'm a foodie. I find biographies awkward, but I don't mind being awkward sometimes. :D

Other than that I've started my own sustainable clothing company. It's called Connect One Threads, and I collaborate with international artists to make designs for eco-friendly apparel. If you're interested you can check it out on cothreads.org :D

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Wherever I travel, the best experiences always comes from the people I'm with.

I have been hosted by Turkish students and had a job where I was living with Iraqi students for a summer, so I understand the value of having a good host and being a good host. These experiences were before I tried CS.

Since then I've been lucky to meet and show around some Couchsurfers, particularly in Germany and Turkey! I've also surfed many couches in different places!

Centres d'intérêt

Guitar and music making! and of course, traveling.

Other than those two main things, I love food, music, philosophy, street art, meditation, laughing, and random exploration of a city/area. Nevertheless, there are many ways I connect with people, and I suppose you could say its really about the energy between people! Meaning: I'm willing to meet anyone!
