About Me

CURRENT MISSION

LAUGHING! Connecting, dancing, joking, eating, exploring, listening, teaching, hiking, smiling, and doing. all of the fantastic verbs out there all over the world!

ABOUT ME

I am full of energy, and always up to try something new- especially if it involves food and music. Sampling desserts all over the world is a hobby of mine. I love being active- whether its running and biking, or dancing and jump rope- I have to move! I like mountains more than the beach and the ocean more than lakes- but a good hike anywhere makes my day.

PHILOSOPHY

"when life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? too much sanity may be madness. perhaps to be practical is madness. and maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it ought to be." - don quixote

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people and learning new languages. I want to make it easy for people to travel and explore a new city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed all over Turkey, made great friends and saw beautiful cities.

Interests

I like diversity, dancing, team sports, and bus rides. I study neuroscience and I love finding its connection to everyday life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently have gotten involved in caving in Turkey and have repelled/traversed/climbed/explored 2 huge caves now. Being 100 meters underground with just a team of Turks is incredible!
