About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Cat likes it doggy style"

ABOUT ME

I am an energetic, and thoughtful person just looking for new experiences. Like a Jack-in-the-box I am trying to live in the present. As you can see I enjoy making jokes. I am currently living in Istanbul and have good intentions to make it my home for a few more years.

PHILOSOPHY

When in Byzantium....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the past, I have hosted and I have also stayed at some places. Because of my situation at the moment I am mostly just trying to use this site to connect with other like minded individuals in the community.

person a - you reading anything at the moment?

person b - smiles out loud.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Honestly, as sad as it may seem, it was watching my father die after battling lung cancer. On a lighter note, I have met Seu Jorge, when I was a cab driver in San Franciso, he was very cool and we sang David Bowie songs together. I also recently saw the çarşı POMA push back a police TOMA during the Gezi Park protests.

Teach, Learn, Share

People schooled in life, people who see wonder and balance in themselves. People who shift consciousness with and without drugs. People who wish to turn into donkeys like the bad boys in Pinocchio. People who note that I keep using big P's and little p's, and don't give a damn. People who steal blankets on international flights.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, France, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

France, United Kingdom, United States
