So I wrote this in 2009, and having totally forgotten about CouchSurfing I logged in today and found that it pretty much still rings true, 7 years later:

I live by: Take risks, accomplish as much as you can, be constantly thriving to learn and create things, treat others in a way you'd like them to treat you, be an open book, NEVER think it's too late to try something new or do something you've never done before, love with vulnerability and openness, don't regret; LEARN, let everyone you love KNOW that you love and appreciate them, and be passionate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will meet for coffee, I LOVE meeting new people. Cannot host at the time, but when I can, I would love to do that as well.

I have couch surfed twice and it was absolutely incredible both times, I couldn't imagine a better way to have seen Istanbul.
