I was a photojournalist for eight years and now I'm a student and freelance instructor, videographer, and editor.

My goal is to travel to Turkiye this summer and to study Turkish because my mother is Turkish and I'd like to learn the language and build a connection with one of my ancestral homelands.

For fun, I enjoy movies, cafes, restaurants, travel, photography, museums, monuments, mountains, baseball games, good company, and cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to find accommodation, this summer, in Turkiye, whilst I study Turkish. Also, perhaps some accommodation in Greece, Israel, and Azerbaijan.
