About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn just how much I don't know and then explore it

ABOUT ME

I'm 24 yrs old and I'm looking to travel throughout Europe during my time off.

Give me new things! New foods, new songs, new holidays, new drinks, new "favorite places"...I want it all. I want to compare what I know with what I don't. A little adventure, a little nonsense is all I need to have kick ass experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that respect, an open-mind and faith open so many doors. I try to have the courage to walk through them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not too much so far- but I moved to France and plan on taking full advantage of being close to so many countries. La Roche is small, but beautiful and I would love to share what I've experienced in my new hometown with other travelers.

Interests

reading, swimming, dancing, finding open-air markets, trying new foods, tasting wine, finding new music, stumbling upon festivals

Teach, Learn, Share

I realize I can't learn every language, but I would like to learn common phrases in any place I visit. I love sharing idioms from the U.S. and comparing the nuances of language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My roommate and I have a large couch that fits 2 people and a fully stocked kitchen. It's a 25 minute walk from centre-ville, but there is a bus stop 1 minute away. You have to bring your own towel, but we have blankets.

We have weird work hours, but not that many so we can meet up and show you the best places to grab a drink or picnic. We also love cooking meals and sharing stories over meals.

We speak French at home, but I'm American and my roommate is German so we have those languages covered as well. As long as you're a flexible traveler, your stay with us could be great!

Countries I’ve Visited

Barbados, England, France, Italy, Spain
