About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible before the age of thirty. This is tough on a budget but I am doing it somehow. Also to make the world a better place! Very cliche, but I mean it!

ABOUT ME

Fun-loving, adventurous...a laidback thrill-seeker (can that exist?)! I love travelling and I am always looking for a way to make it happen within my budget!

PHILOSOPHY

''Find purpose. The means will follow.'' - Gandhi said it but I think it pretty much sums up how I live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed many times - always great fun with great people. I host when I can, but unfortunately my living situation is usually a little strange, so I try to do coffee/drinks with surfers when they come to town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every couch surfing experience has been amazing in its own way. I am always learning new and interesting things from the people I meet. All around positive experiences!

Interests

Language, social justice, nature, outdoor adventure, cultural exchange, politics, music, trying new food, good wines and good beers, FUN. I'll pretty much try anything once (within reason ;)).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mule ride in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. I want a mule! They are so strong :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I loooove learning - maybe I'm a bit of a geek, BUT you can learn so much from people of different cultures. I think this is one of the best kinds of education. Everyone can do it - you don't need a degree!

Like I said, I love learning and teaching languages. I can help you with English, French and I can teach some basic Turkish. I will probably be asking you to teach me things in your language!

Same thing with almost all aspects of culture - I want to know about your food, art, history! I can share some things about Turkish, French and American cultures.

Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Morocco, Netherlands, Turkey, United Kingdom, Virgin Islands, British

Countries I’ve Lived In
