CURRENT MISSION

To be remembered as the one who always jumped off the cliff first.

ABOUT ME

I moved from Turkey to Texas when I was 4 years old, and lived in a small farming community until I moved to college. I am graduating Yale this year and emigrating to London in September, where I will become a corporate-type with no free time :( I majored in political science and international studies. I love animals, horseback riding, snowboarding, traveling, history, the outdoors, reading, and going out drinking and dancing with friends.

I am an adventurous, brave person who likes to push the limits. I talk loudly and laugh even more loudly. I have always considered myself to be my own best friend, thus I never get lonely--but I also like to meet interesting, open-minded people. I also have really big hair which makes me look like a mad scientist sometimes, and I eat everything and anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am anticipating participating for the first time this summer when I backpack across Eastern Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm on a 7 week trip with my friend Leslie Roberson, and we are couchsurfing along the way! It's my first time and every experience has thus far been great and everyone I've met has been amazing.
