In about 6 years, I'll be a doctor of naturopathic medicine! Until then, I am taking classes full time in Indianapolis, hanging with my cat (from Turkey), cooking delicious paleo food, reading all the books, lifting weights and climbing rocks, and watching the Bachelor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would rather meet someone new and see a city from his/her point of view than stay in a hotel and see it only from my own.

Interests

I love lifting/training, eating, going to the farmers market, traveling, meeting people of different backgrounds/religions/cultures/etc., reading, running, painting my nails, cooking/baking, watching baseball/football, going to museums, doing yoga, talking philosophy/cats, drinking çay, learning languages, and all summer all the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode on an ATV with a complete stranger to the rock formations in Kapadokya, Turkey at like 2 in the morning with no lights to guide us. The same summer, with a Greek woman, young Canadian woman and American veteran, I stopped on a winding road high in the Chios hills to look at stars on a cloudless night.
