CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of Turkiye as possible over the next 9 months, all while sharing culture, learning the language, and exchanging traveling stories with my hosts.

ABOUT ME

I am a very open-minded individual looking to learn as much as I can about people and the world around me. I am a recent college graduate living and working in Turkey for the year with plans to travel for the rest of my life. I have prior international experience studying abroad in New Zealand. I love traveling culture-- exchange, life-long learning, and respect-- low budgets, high expectations, and amazing experiences-- all with the goal of broadening my perspective.

I currently live with a roommate and am unable to accept guests in our apartment. However, I am willing to meet up for a drink/coffee or a walk around the city!
