CURRENT MISSION:

ABOUT ME:

People watching and climbing mountains can keep me entertained for hours. I am currently an English and Yoga Instructor in the lovely coal mining town of Zonguldak. The Black Sea is wonderful; I'm the kind of person who needs to live near a big body of water to feel like a normal. Sometimes I'm talkative, sometimes I'm not--I'm the person trying to balance on the bus while holding a bunch of crap and reading a book. Generally disheveled and lost in thought, but in the best way possible.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a way to combat the damage done by borders to people and cultures. It's system that helps build trust in our broken and fearful society that I'm glad to be apart of. The kinds of people and the communities I've met through CS give me home for the future.

Intereses

I'm on an urban planning kick at the moment. I like listening to the radio--whether its news, music or story telling. I thrive in art saturated environments, but try to bring the feeling with me wherever I am. I like writing letters and giving the post office something to do.
