I am a grad student living in Istanbul. Previously lived in New Jersey for a year (as an exchange student). Ive been to Europe when i was younger (Netherlands, Sweden and Germany) and some closer countries recently (Georgia, Moldova, Bosna i Herzegovina, Kazakhstan). Im looking to visit many more. Currently im learning Greek, but have had some practice in Serbo-bosnian-croatian.

I have my own website that i (rarely) post my writings on. I like literature.

Currently im also working as a kitesurfing instructor. Previously ive done climbing and caving.

I like hanging out with my hosts (and guests when i have them). Ive even went camping with a guest. We could visit museums, go to the theatre, see a standup show, go to the climbing gym, etc.

Im fine with animals.
