I am a teacher by trade. I have lived the past 6 years abroad, teaching at first in Romania with the Peace Corp, and thereafter in Istanbul, Turkey until last summer. I was married in April 2015 to my lovely wife Işık, who is a Turkish national. More than likely I will be travelling exclusively with her. We both have goals to see as much of the world as possible, however big and beautiful it may be.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I use all different forms of stay while traveling. In the past I have used hostels because they offered great opportunities to meet with other people on the road who shared similar interest to me. I also found a ready sense of community in a safe environment. Now that I'm back in America I know that we have less hostels and so I think Couchsurfing would be a decent substitute.
