ABOUT ME

I've been around the world (and Europe) and I'm just getting started.
Paris is my second hometown.
I love traveling, cooking, and trying to grow herbs and veggies.
Everyone makes fun of my sneezes.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem.

"Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can't change. Kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, and take chances. Live with no regrets because life is too short to be anything but HAPPY."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The idea of bringing humanity closer through individual points of contact (i.e. traveling/hosting) and creating a family of friends around the world is an incredibly comforting concept to me, one that I want to both embody and propel.

IMPORTANT: I really enjoy getting to know my hosts and am not trying to just use you as a place to crash. If you stay with me I would hope for the same mindset! Getting to know other CSers is extremely rewarding and has made my travels so far unique and wonderfully memorable.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Major Life Accomplishment: Surfed for 13 weeks straight all over Europe in the spring of 2010! It was the journey of a life time, I can't even believe how many wonderful, kind, generous, funny people I met! Anyway now I feel a bit like a pro at the CouchSurfing part, and being a pro host is next on my list :) Time to return so many favors and spread the goodness and joy that is CouchSurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have watched the sunrise over the Giza Pyramids in Egypt while on the back of a camel. That was freaking surreal. And I have watched the sunrise sitting on a beach in Copenhagen looking out over Sweden across the water.

I have ridden on the back of those crazy mopeds in Viet Nam and been scared for my life (loved every second of it).

I climbed Table Mountain in Cape Town early in the morning and got to the top before the gondolas started running. Incredibly peaceful view of the whole harbor.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will do my best to do all three of these things. I'll teach you what I know; I always love to learn new things; I am really good at sharing (especially pitchers). :)
