Overview
About Me
I am currently finishing up my literature degree and hoping to move along with my master's in an art and culture related field. I love to travel and immerse myself in other cultures, especially their food. I like to experiment with different mediums of artistic creation; especially oil painting and haikus.
I also do embroidery and felt projects.
My life goal is to travel to every continent and make a ton of friends along the way.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To meet with the local people and hear their stories, to be inspired by them.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favourite musicians are Beirut, Ben Howard, Vampire Weekend, Bahamas, Bon Iver...
My favourite movies are Closer, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Before Sunrise, Her and Once.
Being a literature student, naming favourite books is too tough so I'm going to just say my favourite genres are poetry, drama and magical realism.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to cook and bake and know a couple of dishes from around the world, I am especially well-versed in Turkish cuisine.
Art history. I am trying to learn as much as I can about art and love to talk about it.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I have many good stories from my past cross cultural experiences I'd love to share.
I am really good at sewing- I mainly work on felts and embroidery, but I am pretty handy in all sorts of crafting.
Also, I give great book recommendations.
