I'm the biggest extrovert! I love meeting new people and learn new stuff, I'm a pretty-much-down-for-anything type of person!
Also i'm a Gemini if that means anything to you lol

I was born in France and my dad is from Spain but I'm not fluent so I'm always looking for people to practice my Spanish with!

I can't host anyone at the time bc I'm just traveling in between places but i would love to have you once i find a place!

I started solo traveling when i studied abroad in the US for a year, attended Montana State University (Go cats!) then I traveled around Portland, SF, New York... When I came home I went to work in hostels in the Netherlands and Spain and now I'm going back to the States for a little bit before going around Europe in the summer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I absolutely love meeting people, I'm the kind of person that could start a conversation with a wall! I've had an amazing time working in hostels and just listening to people from all over the world sharing their craziest and most random stories. I also just like comparing the little things and seeing the subtle similarities in people's life experience even when coming from wildly different backgrounds.

PS: If I seem super generic in my cs requests it's probably bc i suck at texting and even worseat small talk but if you wanna chat/facetime i'm totally down! Check out my insta for a better overview of me :) https://www.instagram.com/claire_ainette/

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll listen to everything! It's kind of whatever i'm in the mood for. But I will definitely sing along or dance to whatever you're playing so...be prepared for that

I watch a lot of TV...like a lot. A couple favorites are : Orange is the new black, One day at a time, Brooklyn 99, The Good Place, Black Mirror, American Horror Story, Doctor Who, Legends of Tomorrow, Jane The Virgin...

I am a big movie fan! Love a good sci-fi film, or anything with a nice mindfuck type of twist haha not a romcom type of person (except queer ones maybe) Pretty into superhero stuff, especially the marvel+dc tv shows that no one watches

Always in need of new book suggestions! I mostly like non-fiction

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled to Amsterdam for a Janelle Monae concert and danced on stage! I pretty much made a fool of myself but it's understandable considering she's basically God to me

Went to Pride in a small mormon town in Idaho

Not exactly an adventure but I once got off a bus and a woman who sat behind me and I guess was listening to the stuff I was saying came to me and said "you're a fantastic young woman and you're going in the right direction, keep doing what you do" then she hugged me and I still haven't fully recovered from that interaction tbh

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a little of the few languages i know and am always down to learn new ones! Especially interested in learning ASL, Mandarin, Arabic, Russian...

I'm a big dancer and always looking to improve no matter the style so if you've got some moves I could learn that'd be dope!

I'd love to learn how to skate! I've always wanted to but was always too scared but i'm trying this new thing of pushing myself towards the scary things even if it's gonna be an epic fail!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very open minded person and love to share ideas and explore new perspectives with people, I've been told i'm a more insightful than i look (an old soul, if you will) and i'm just really into deep conversations with strangers. I believe in looking for the extraordinary in people

Oh and I make a mean pasta bake
