About Me

Currently living in the San Francisco Bay Area. If I could have any superpower, it would be the ability to speak any language in the world on command! One of the most beautiful parts of traveling--besides taking in the local sites and food--is getting to know people. I spent a year living in France, and have done a little bit of traveling since then. I am very outgoing and love meeting new people! I am very social; I enjoy bars, food, dancing, hiking, reading and writing! All of the basics. Oh, and I love to sing :) I don't have a good voice, but I love karaoke!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet new people :) Couchsurfing basically supplied my entire friend group when I lived in the South France. I met such amazing people through here and am still close with them today. Without CS...I would have been a lonely gal!

Interests

Yoga is my current love. As corny as it sounds, it keeps me from losing my mind in the day-to-day grind. I am very extroverted, love my friends, french, nature, poetry, reading, writing, having conversations, going to the beach...

I am extremely social, so I love having dinners, spending time with friends, meeting new people, etc. I also love learning, I love taking classes, watching TED talks, reading a new article, having a discussion with someone... And I love being outdoors. Nothing crazy, just going to the beach, sitting at a cafe or at a park, going into the woods...

Music, Movies, and Books

Love the Harry Potter Series of course, and a little bit of everything in terms of books. Currently reading Beloved, and on my shelf is Between the World and Me, The Power, and Lean In.

I love almost all music, anything I can dance to...I must say that R&B and 90s and 2000s throwbacks are always a hit!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love for life :) I can also share some yoga moves (not that I am great), or help out around the house! I also share great conversation and great stories!
