CURRENT MISSION

see the world.

ABOUT ME

I am a journalism student at Arizona State University currently living and studying in France on a study abroad program. I love to travel and learn about new and different places. I have been lucky enough to have grown up surrounded by people from all over the world and so I also love learning about other cultures.

I love music, art, and film!

PHILOSOPHY

want to make a difference in this world and enjoy every second i have to live.

I have many stories to share. Tragic, defining, indifferent, conflicting, or just amusing. I'm willing to share mine if you're willing to share yours!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a new member to the couchsurfing community and hope that by joining I will be able to do more traveling while I am in Europe. Once I get back to the United States I would be more than willing to host people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have gone several times to a bar here in Paris where couchsurfers meet and get to know one another. I have been lucky to meet amazing and interesting people every time!

Interests

Listening to music that truly changes my emotional state and perspective on life. Music that has a lasting impact.

watching films and seeing art that depict life in a way words cannot describe and that help me escape my reality to realize how good I have it, or how I can make it even better.

learning about politics and how we have yet to learn from our mistakes.

culture.

social change and revolutions

Traveling to learn about others and myself.

My dog.

Hiking to escape it all and recharge.

Creating a plan that will help me make a difference in our world.
