Hi all! My name is Izadora. I'm a 23 year old in the suburbs of Paris for at least a year. I'm an au pair right now, which means I likely cannot host anyone. That said, I would love to meet up and show you my favourite spots in Paris.
I love a good time and a good party! Dancing, some drinking, and just losing ourselves to the night. As for the "good side" of me, I enjoy touring churches and just admiring architecture. I like quiet afternoons and evenings in a park, or sitting around with friends or strangers discussing life... I like to question people and make them think and I like people who are self aware and make me think as well.
Give out only what you wish to receive in this lifetime.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1) I absolutely love being surrounded by people. While I do like solitude, as everyone does, I prefer to be around people and activity. I also dream of travelling. I have an insatiable wanderlust. I'm in love with places I've never been to. A place like CouchSurfing lets me not only meet people, but meet people who also love to travel and see new places.
2) I believe in sharing and being a global citizen, being a better and improving version of myself, one who lives with an open heart that is full, but never full enough, of joy and love. It connects the whole world and creates a giant network of friendships waiting to spring to life
3) This reason is more self-serving. If you show and give love and kindness, then that love and kindness will find it's way back to you, in some form.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wandered around Rome, lost, on my own, for 4 hours and experienced what I never could had I chosen to take the tour with my tour group that day
Seeing glaciers and volcanoes in Iceland

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning, and love teaching. I'm still very much trying to find my place in the world, and I feel CS can connect me with people who will help me along the way. I want to do the same for others, as well. I'm a great listener, so talk away. Great, meaningful conversation is perhaps one of the greatest gifts that can be shared.
Philosophy :
The day I stop learning is the day I have died, even if I am still breathing.

What I Can Share with Hosts
