About Me

CURRENT MISSION

la chasse au bonheur mes amis.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty outgoing, laid-back person. I love meeting new people and exploring new places. I'm generally down for anything. Punctuality has never been my strong suit, and I'm a last minute sort of person, but those things never seem to get me into too much trouble... I'm mainly just looking for a good time with good company, and rarely have a problem finding it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about couchsurfing from a few friends who just took off traveling and was curious. I'm off to Europe in a few days & love having this option, though I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous about the idea. Slightly sketch, hope it's as chill as it seems! Gotta give everything a try at least once, right?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

People, places, pictures, moments.

I love to learn, whether it's scholastically, personally, emotionally, geographically, I want to know more & see more. I'm just ready to spread my wings!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My lifetime isn't very extensive yet... I lived in France for a year as an exchange student in High School, that just gave me the Euro-bug & I've been jonesing to go back since. While saving up for money, I ended up in a salaried position with the chillest office on the planet. The kiteboarding industry, though I don't participate in the sport, has been so much fun to be a part of! Though I'm gonna miss my job, it was only a temporary one to save money for my future travels. Aside from that, I've seen and done many things with many incredible people & can't wait for what's up next.
