CURRENT MISSION

To pet a cat in as many countries as possible, to eat delicious food in beautiful palces

ABOUT ME

Sometimes, my friends say I'm the "air traffic controller". I'm pretty calm, even in stressful situations.

PHILOSOPHY

Be nice to people! The world is simultaneously filled with lots of beautiful and nice and amazing things and people and also with really horrible things. I try to notice and appreciate the good things, even if they are really small.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I was sitting on the biggest pyramid of the remnants of an Aztec city in Cuernavaca, Mexico. The ruins are in the middle of the city- surrounded by apartments, corner stores, and even an Office Depot. I was sitting on the pyramid, looking out at the mountains, when a Monarch butterfly flew past. I looked down and saw a green gecko crawling on the stones, and a little brown bird perched on the stairs. I've never felt so overwhelmed by nature. It was so beautiful I cried. Really. also, when I was in high school, I met J.K. Rowling (of Harry Potter fame) and gave her a high five. It was awesome
