CURRENT MISSION

To have seriously fun adventure time and discover culture, food, and all good things

ABOUT ME

I'm a 22-year old art student who currently works at PASCA, an American-founded art school in Pont-Aven, France. I enjoy art, cooking, motorcycling, and traveling.

I'm going back to Boulder after I'm done here (in December) but I wish I was staying longer.

I'm a polite guest who likes to experience other cultures. I've travelled quite extensively and I'm comfortable with trying new things. I'm a big cook and I'm not picky about food. Whoever I'm staying with I'm excited to meet you!

The biggest plus for me in terms of Couchsurfing is the potential for grounded cultural exchange--or as Rick Steves says, experiencing culture "Through the Back Door".

PHILOSOPHY

We forge our own personal meaning in the smithy of our soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would offer a couch if I could, but sadly right now that isn't a possibility. I'm only traveling while I'm in France.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but I've met many happy couch-surfers and it's time to try it out!
