I am living with my wife Melike in Eskisehir Turkey. I'm a part time English teacher and a full time cat dad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people from diverse backgrounds.

Interests

I studied sculpture at university. I'm a fairweather yogi. I'm usually reading about something cultural or historical. Strong interest in foreign languages. My biggest passion is probably cycling... not in a nerdy gearhead way, I just love to ride.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to Anglophone blues-based music primarily, but I'm fascinated by traditional music from any culture. I like classic and indie films and books by critically acclaimed writers or nonfiction on topics I want to learn more about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a 2 month solo bike tour through the American and Canadian plains and Great Lakes area.
