About Me

I'm a travel loving English teacher living in Turkey for a year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Until now it's been only hostels for me, but I'm interested in trying something new and getting to know locals where I travel :)

Interests

Half of me loves staying at home with netflix, tea, and cats, and the other half loves traveling, meeting new people, and making new memories. I love love love linguistics, and learning new things about languages and cultures!

  • cats
  • singing
  • traveling
  • camping
  • teaching
  • languages
  • tourism

Music, Movies, and Books

Alternative/rock music (almost) always. Fantasy/adventure books and movies are my favorites. And of course, I'm a big Harry Potter nerd, always.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One? Tumbled down a mountain in the Swiss Alps, got an entire drunk camp to sing happy birthday to me at midnight, crossed a 1000 year old bridge, explored underground cities, rode a hot air balloon, and most impressively, repeatedly made it to airports in time when cab drivers said it was impossible.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching is more than just my job, its a part of me. I live to share my experiences and guide others, which fuels my desire to learn about every corner of this big rock we call Earth.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Swapping travel stories is an all time favorite for me :) I can have long late night conversations over tea, or be one of the quietest guests you've seen - your choice! I will always be respectful, trustworthy, helpful, and clean!
