CURRENT MISSION

live passionately and joyfully, soar while staying grounded

ABOUT ME

İ am moving through the world celebrating each improbability or chance which alters my path. I am reassured by fate.

I throw myself passionately and generously into every moment of life and dedicate myself to the continuity of shared experiences, visions, ideas, and collaborations.

I see beauty all around me and I absorb it without description. I collect treasures in the form of sensations, sounds, resonations, and small mementos.

I am an active and lively person with a lot of opinions and ideas. I feel that I connect easily with other people in unique and surprising ways and I have a lot to share with and reflect in those around me.

I am always with a smile, and a open heart and mind. İ sing constantly and I am often in my own thought world. I find joy in the present. I am curious.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the connectedness and fluidity of all things. I see the world as being continually renewed in each moment that takes us forward in time as we know it. I believe in positivity and its repercussions through ourselves, our communities, our surroundings, our universe. I love unabashedly.

The world belongs to those who make it.

The more I traveled, the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started... and know the place for the first time
- T.S Eliot

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last night the new moon cradled the old in its arms, this morning the sun rose strong and bright. The snow glistens and it is silent.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to juggle. I can share with you my stories. I can offer you my insight. I can give you my time. We can cook up a storm together. I would love to learn the intricacies of your language and your world. I would like to learn about your view of our world that we share together.
