About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world as much as possible until I have to get a real job

ABOUT ME

Honestly, I really don't know what to say for this question as I'm not sure how to summarize myself in a few sentences. I guess I'll begin with the usual: I am friendly, open-minded, and very interested in other cultures, but if you want a more apt description, I would just read my reviews or even better meet me!

PHILOSOPHY

Generally, just relax and try to enjoy life/don't harm others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I am not hosting anybody as our landlord willn't let us have guess over. However, I'm available to show people around Paris. I also plan to try to do some couch surfing in the next month or so.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After hearing wonderful things about couch surfing from countless friends, I've decided to give it a try myself.

Interests

The people in my life are what make my life engaging. I have been blessed with some of the most amazing friends and family possible. Whether it be going to a bar/club or just relaxing at home, spending time with these people has always been one of my main focuses. Besides that, I am a full time student. I am majoring in economics and history. I am a huge history nerd and love reading almost any and all history books. I am also very interested in international politics and enjoy open minded discussions about these topics.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy music and television shows, my two greatest guility pleasures are How I Meet Your Mother and Game of Thrones. I also occasionally watch 30 Rock and Modern Family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow, this is another hard question. But some quick ones that come to mind are the first time I saw the monsoon rain in India, wandering around the Louvre for five hours and having only seen one wing, getting really drunk under the Eiffel Tower with my friends, climbing to the top of Yosemite falls and looking over the ledge, looking at the night sky in the desert.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is a really hard question as there is no one type of person who I enjoy meeting or spending time with. In general, I like meeting people who are open, informed, and caring, but above all people who have a sense of humor and make even little things fun.
