About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life. To experience cultures and talk to as many people as possible. :)

ABOUT ME

American living in France since 2011. I'm laid back, easy going and a light traveller. I like to go out, I like to chill, I drink and smoke but its not (yet) a full addiction, so i'm fine not doing it while traveling. I mainly just love to meet and talk to new people, and I love to cook, so eating drinking and talking over a home cooked meal is always a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

Vivre dans le moment. El mundo es tuyo. Regret nothing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in the city center of La Rochelle, in a studio apartment. It's small, but I have a foldout couch :).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had lots of people stay with us here in La Rochelle. In the summer, beaches, music, drinks and sunshine is our usual gameplan :)

Interests

Language, culture and music. They really dominate my thoughts. But im really into politics, I keep a good following in whats going on in the world, and LOVE to talk to people about their opinions about the future of our world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in the Amazon jungle for 2 weeks.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to practice forigen languages, I am an english teacher in France, so teaching is my life. I also speak Spanish, so I'm down to chat in español tambien. I also love to cook, so I always offer to help cook for the nights that im staying.

Capoeira has been one of the biggest influences on my life. I've been training for about 6 years, and the teachings have taught me to see the world in a new way. The words, language, music and movements are always something i love sharing with people.
