About Me

I've moved to Sariyer in Istanbul, but please feel free to message me if you have any questions or emergency couch requests for Athens as I'm still "in the loop". If you're requesting to stay with me in Istanbul, keep in mind that Sariyer is outside of the city!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think you see the best in humanity (not to mention the best in the city) when people open their homes to let travelers stay with them. As a surfer, I'm honestly still surprised that people will let you stay with them no strings attached. And as a host, travelling is much more convenient when you bring the world to your doorstep. Win-win!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Caminho Portugues de Santiago!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn an instrument - I can play a bit of guitar and I used to play the flute, but I'd love to know enough (guitar or drums) to be in a band. I also love singing but am pretty bad. I have a dream of forming an all-female Pink Floyd cover band.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm learning to cook and can make good risotto, curry, and french onion soup. I also love drawing and painting and know a ton of cheesy jokes
