CURRENT MISSION

I'd like to change the world one day, but in the mean time I'll laugh and have a drink with my friends

ABOUT ME

I'm 21 years old, an American from Washington State. I'm studying abroad in Paris for the year at Sciences Po. I speak passable but not fluent French. I'm particularly laid back but I really enjoy talking to people and hearing their stories. I enjoy sight seeing, good food and meeting new people. I laugh easily and like to be silly most of the time but am also capable of being serious and getting work done.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live so that when I'm old, I can look back and smile at the great memories I have and friends I've made.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, but I am looking forward to starting! And once I have a permanent place for next semester I plan on hosting as well.

Interests

I love talking about world affairs, skiing, climbing, history and many things in between. My favorite thing to do when I've got a few days of free time I love to ski, but when I've only got a few hours after class I like reading, hanging out in a park, getting a drink or two with friends or sometimes simply watching TV shows.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The time I felt most alive, and conversely the time I thought I was most likely to die, was while I hid under two space blankets held together with a single piece of duct tape along with my father and brother high on the side of a mountain as a storm with hurricane force winds slowly passed. If the piece of duct tape had failed we would have been fully exposed to the storm and likely would have frozen.

Teach, Learn, Share

The 2nd World War and model rockets are two things I know more about that I probably should.
