About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stay rational in a world of insanity.

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded individual, a fan of art, literature, death metal (almost anything, really), and forests.

I'm currently finishing my master's thesis in linguistics at Paris 3 so I don't have much time to host but I do have time to grab coffee, walk around a bit, and hang out.

PHILOSOPHY

He who smelt it usually dealt it, but it's okay it's only natural.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Teach, Learn, Share

I've spent about 7 months teaching ESL in France and so I can definitely teach beginners a thing or two!

My goal in life is to always be learning so I'm open to just about anything.

Sharing? My home! Or my time, my savvy, anything that brings a bit of happiness and spreads the love.
