Hey there! I'm a 28 year old teacher, traveler, musician, and martial artist, living in West Seattle. I've visited about 30 countries and after college I lived in Turkey for 3 years. I'm laid back, curious, and have a positive outlook. Love meeting new people of all types!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host, surf when I can, and go to CS meetups sometimes, although my work keeps me super busy. I love meeting new people from wildly different backgrounds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've drunk cobra blood in Vietnam, gambled on wrestling camels in southern Turkey, and walked the most sacred pilgrimage route in Japan. The cobra was gross.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play guitar and record/produce music as a hobby, so I'm always down to talk shop about that. I can also teach you to say the "cekoslovkyalilastiramadiklarmizdan misiniz?" which is the longest word in the Turkish language. Cool, right?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a spacious apartment with a couch and some floor space. Depending on how busy I am, I can tell you where to go in Seattle or show you around.
