Stay away if you are racist of any kind.

***ATTENTION*** I only consider hosting those who have references (from friends, hosts, or guests) and have a profile that is completely filled out. I also get a lot of really generic copy-paste messages (sometimes with the wrong name haha). Please take the time to write a personalized message- I want to hear more about you and also see that you took the time read my profile as it makes a better experience for everyone. Thanks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As my schedule can be hectic act times, I mostly use couchsurfing to meet up with other travelers, show people around the city, and go to different couchsurfing meetups. I like to host when my schedule permits, but I typically cannot accept reservation that are far in advance.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I wasn't able to fly home for christmas my first year in Lyon, so here I was in another country with no plans. I posted on couchsurfing and it turns out that I wasn't the only Christmas orphan. Within just a few hours I was invited to Christmas dinner with another couch surfer and about 12 other Christmas orphans. I think we ended up having about 10 nationalities between the 12 of us. I honestly can't think of a better way to spend the holidays than over a meal and wine with a bunch of strangers :). Since this great first initial experience, I host from time to time :)

Interests

New people, trading silly travel mishaps, ballet, live music and theatre, sightseeing, tea, drinks on a patio,things of the nerdy variety, long nights talking about everything and nothing. One thing I've really gotten into is trying to take a local ballet classes in every new city I visit, so if you ever want to join me for a class, let's go!!! I think I'm up to 14 cities, and 7 countries and hoping to add more !
