Ask more questions than you answer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: The saddest thing about books is only being able to read the ones in English.
Music: Life would be unliveable without it! If I had to pick a favourite band it would be a toss up right now between Radiohead and Bon Iver.
TV shows: Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Six Feet Under and Buffy the Vampire Slayer are some of my favourites, open to suggestions for the next show to immerse myself in! I cannot WAIT for Orange is the New Black to start again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked for ten days across the Rocky Mountains when I was 15. You can trace the route on a map of Canada, it was a long way to go both physically and mentally. I also traveled mostly by train from Istanbul to London in the spring of 2013. It was NOT a direct route by any means, it took six weeks to cover over 7,000 km and visit about 15 countries!

Teach, Learn, Share

For anyone wanting to practice their English I am a willing conversational partner. I would like to improve my very poor Turkish and also need to learn how to cook!
I can teach university math, physics, electrical engineering, some computer programming and some history too, as well as anything you want to know about Canada : )
