ABOUT ME

I’m living a leisurely life in France right now, financing my life by playing games with middle schoolers! Aside from learning French and planning future adventures, I am also attempting to teach myself how to cook, brush up on my elementary business skills, and learn a bit about the infinite possibilities of curating!

PHILOSOPHY

life is too short for boring things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

I love food! (… in particular, breakfast, dessert, dark chocolate, jackfruit, avocados, sun-dried tomatoes, jasmine rice, coconut, coffee, cinnamon flavored-anything, gelato, etc. etc.) I like experiencing regional desserts, market-hopping and learning how to re-create deliciousness! I also like running, writing, spring, people-watching, the color turquoise, attending/hosting themed events, winking, the ocean, portraits, mixed media, laughing, camping, procrastinating, inevitably getting sucked into having a good time

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Chocolat, Good Will Hunting, The Gods Must Be Crazy, Say Anything

Music: If music was my family, Tracy Chapman would be my mother and Bob Marley would be my father. Les Nubians, Jill Scott and Wilco would be my all-knowing older siblings, while Janelle Monae, Dr. Dog, and P Square would be my spunky younger siblings. (The Roots, Beirut, and the White Stripes would be my cousins.)

Books: 100 years of solitude, anything by Margaret Atwood
