ABOUT ME

Writing about myself is not something I enjoy, but I am overall a friendly, and passionate individual. I am fond of travelling, meeting new people and learning from them. I have a love for food and music of different cultures and relay almost everything back to the larger systems (political and social) at hand. I love farming and rural life, but am also a big city-lover.

I will be travelling in Turkey with my boyfriend Armen, he is a passionate musician and is currently Learning the duduk. We love staying with and meeting musicians!

PHILOSOPHY

oneness, interconnectedness, understanding yourself is the way to understanding other things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After being in Turkey couchsurfing for a week now I can fill out this section. We have had two hosts so far and it has been an amazing experience for us both.

Interests

Music! Food! These are the things that make the world continue spinning. Good conversation. I love to cook and bake, I love to walk and go hiking. Exploring new places or your own backyard by walking is the best way. Biking is great too. Big on photography, Film photography is where it's at though. I love tracing things back to history, so ancient/traditional attire or anything else is always fascinating. I also love hearing other languages, I am totally content being in a room with a group of people speaking a language I do not understand--it is a beautiful thing.
