CURRENT MISSION

To travel to make friends, to meet people very different from myself, to share stories, to introduce people to my culture, to have people form all over the world introduce me to their culture.

ABOUT ME

I'm really good at losing at Mario Party, at making cheesecakes that just aren't quite done in the middle, at flipping crepes, at making DELICIOUS omelets, at wearing summer clothes when it's still too cold out, and at shoveling snow off sidewalks to perfection. Give me a task, and I will loose myself in it until it's done. tell me a story, and I'll love you. take me to see live music, and I'll adore you.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm open to anything and think everyone can teach me something.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm traveling so I can't host anyone as I have no couch to offer, but when I return home I intend to be a couchsurfing host. Currently, I'm studying in Lyon, France, and am traveling all over Europe using couchsurfing because I think it's a FANTASTIC organization of openminded people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hear it's wonderful and breeds good feelings between different countries. I hear you can experience a city or a place entirely differently than if you were staying at a hotel as a lot of hosts show their guests around! Brilliant!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many stories! come stay with me and we'll talk then.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want people I stay with to show me around their city as I would do the same. I'd show them all my personal favorite haunts, as well as the bigger touristy things, and cook fabulous food for them. Make them feel as welcome and comfortable as possible.
