About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn to cook a dish from every country I've ever visited/plan to visit

ABOUT ME

Fun facts:
I love to dance
I'm a summer baby, the more sun the better
I promise you will see me smile (5 or maybe 500 times)
Laughing, talking, and moving are 3 things I'm always doing
I believe that Food brings people together so let's eat!
Tea > Coffee ; Juice > Milk
I'm open-minded yet true to my beliefs
Music and chapstick are two things I can't live without
I love animals, especially friendly cats and cuddly dogs
I'm terrified of most insects, mainly spiders. Please warn me if giant spiders are common chez vous
If I start freestyling or making up songs about anything, just go with it
I'm allergic to oysters, mussels, and scallops (tant pis pour moi)
I don't remember the question but the answer is CHOCOLATE yes always chocolate
I'm a night owl, I prefer staying up late to waking up early any day of the week
Meet me and find out more!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too good (and too short) not to have fun. Love is the best gift to give and reaps the most rewards. In the thick of things I always remember "This too shall pass."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd be up for an outdoor adventure, a wild night partying, or a quiet night inside sharing a cup of tea. Most of all, I want to share experiences and explore as many new places as possible. Part of how I share is through food. I will be glad to cook a meal for you in exchange for your hospitality and learning about your culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couchsurfing but I have had great experiences thus far. I've met great people through surfing and while my friends hosted guests through this site. I am excited to continue my couchsurfing adventures and keep meeting awesome people!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I prefer comedies and lighthearted movies but I also enjoy documentaries. Horror films are cool too, I just can't watch them alone haha I'm not a huge movie buff but I've seen a lot of classics and I try to keep up with new films.
Music: I listen to mostly rock, but I enjoy R&B, rap, pop, some country, and just about anything that is chill with a good beat. I normally turn on Pandora or 8tracks and let it play. I'm open to a lot of different genres of music.
Books: I'm currently reading (finishing) Bonjour Tristesse and trying to continue to read in French while I'm in France. I enjoy reading but I'm not a habitual reader (trying to become one). I rarely watch TV, if anything I watch shows online every once in a while but I read more than I watch tv (which isn't saying much haha)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was my first time going abroad when I moved to France and I currently live there now - One of the best decisions I've ever made!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - I can teach you how to dougie and merengue dancing! I can teach you the basics of mediation theory (conflict resolution) I am somewhat familiar with reflexology, acupressure, and herbology so I'd love to discuss natural remedies and yes massage therapy too!
Learn - I want to learn how to cook new dishes, how to surf, how to play guitar (even if it's only a few chords at a time), and any useful survival skills that will help me during a zombie apocalypse :)
Share - Always looking to share life experiences, personal triumphs and achievements, funny stories, cultural and family traditions, the list goes on and on
