I want to wander around on foot and thumb a ride from time to time. I like work and play, Reading and writing stories, open spaces and closed spaces. I started CSing when I lived In Bursa, Turkey. My housemate was the local CSMeetup chief, which pretty much made me the local CSChief too but I didn’t get and badges or cred.
