ABOUT ME

after university found myself working in Hollywood, when that got to be too much I ran off to Africa with Peace Corps and ended up staying more than three years. Now I plan on making a career in international development after I finish a masters in public policy.

PHILOSOPHY

live, love, laugh!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

July 2008: Surfed Karen's couch in Selcuk
