I'm from the U.S., but I currently live in Turkey: I'm teaching English for a year at Uşak University through a Fulbright grant. Next year I plan to move to New York City to pursue music journalism. Music and politics are my main interests, but I'm interested in everything! I love traveling, so I'll be exploring Europe over our university's long winter break.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like traveling and meeting new people, and I need to travel cheaply.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I performed in the international steel pan festival "Panorama" in Trinidad & Tobago in January 2015. I was part of a band of over 100 people, playing a quick-paced & difficult 10-minute long tune!
