I’m a religious studies and ethnomusicologist student currently traveling the world for a bit. I’ll be in Istanbul and then Palestine trying to learn the Oud and learn about the culture. I’m very nice, mature, a bit extroverted, outgoing, and rarely turn down an adventure. I’m really interested in history, philosophy, and politics of the regions I’ll be visiting. I can also help around the house in many possible ways including cooking, cleaning, etc.. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m looking for an affordable and intimate way to travel the world and meet new friends :)

Interests

Music, art, politics, philosophy, food, history, nature, hiking, good cinema, and afternoon tea.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classical world music including: classical Indian, classical Persian folk, ambient music (laraaji, eno, Harold Budd)

I really like Greg Araki dystopia films, Could Atlas, and some happy Wes Anderson stuff

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I completed a two week trek in the Himalayas, near Tibet, with no guide and no professional equipment

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk a lot about Sociology and politics of the USA, I love to cook, and can teach sitar if there’s one lying around.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences, my relaxed energy, good company, and cooking
