About Me

I'm a wanderer. I love moving around and exploring things. I love having fun and share it with others! I'm interested in people, their stories and the things that keep them awake at night. I collect stories and make up my own. I love nature deeply and treat it as my mentor. I enjoy ancient ceremonies and doing everything with attend!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CF is a great way to meet awesome people from different walks of life! There's nothing like experiencing a city like a local and CS creates the perfect platform for this.

Interests

The thing that I love so deeply and profoundly is nature. There is so much wisdom, magic and life in nature which fascinates me and anything I do in nature revitalizes me.

Yoga's become more of a life-style than an interest recently. I've practiced a variety of yoga types but am currently focusing on Ashtanga yoga. I also enjoy acro yoga as it's such a fun and sociable game!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met a wolf and learnt how to howl.

Volunteered in rural Bangladesh for 7 months as a team leader working with young people for youth and women empowerment, livelihoods and governance. It was one of the most challenging yet one of the most profound experiences of my life.

Bungee-Jumped. It was a terrifying but strangely fulfilling experience. I don't think I have the guts to the again but you should do it! :)

Aqua-Orbing rolling down the hills in a ball with bubbles and laughs.

Climbed up the highest pass in the world in Nepal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm full of joy and enjoy sharing my stories.

I can also teach some basic yoga and cook Turkish food.

I like storytelling and if you have a folktale , i'd love to hear it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook some Turkish dishes! I'm also a good company.
