Hi world

My name is Bailey. I grew up in Georgia not necessarily living your typical southern girl lifestyle.. With a turkish father & free flights, I grew up traveling. Each trip lead to the next, going farther and longer until I decided that it was time to nest. I settled down in Austin, Texas about a year ago and am simply figuring out what it means to be in one place creating a community and sorting out what a 'career' looks like in my life. I picked up a camera along the road and it stuck so I'm now a photographer. I love taking photographs of humans mostly but also just anything with emotion that can create a new perspective. I'm all about philosophical matters and questioning WHY. I've got a great pup and a happy little home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to venture into different forms of travel and meet down to earth people along the way, as well as open up my home to others passing through Austin, TX.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mmm

It's ever-changing dependent on the mood.. Music that I can move to // music that makes me feel

Same goes for movies. I want to feel something deeply

I am entirely an empath.

Books - typically something that makes me think. Nonfiction. Spiritual, business, self-improvement. Or stories about countries that I'm visiting.. Beyond the Beautiful Forevers, First they Killed my Father, Alchemist. Books that bring about a new perspective.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to take your photo. Or teach somebody photography.. That could be cool and fun and what not. I would always love a language exchange.

Learning.. I love learning. Languages, videography, musical instrument and cooking would be top things you could teach me.

Share - time, conversation, stories, food, drink, hug maybe?

What I Can Share with Hosts
