I live and go to school in the USA, where I was born and raised, but I'm studying in France this semester and traveling in Europe whenever I can. I work out and write in my free time, and I collect shot glasses from all the places I've been.

My favorite word to describe me would be "chill". I am a relaxed, easygoing person. I enjoy partying too!

"Happiness is a choice. Sometimes we forget that it's ours to make." - my favorite quote, and one that I live by

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because there are friendly people wherever you go :) And I'm always down to chat and make friends with people who have different experiences and different views on life.

Interests

Activities: Working out, Writing, Adventuring.
Causes: Protecting the environment, Women's' rights in the Middle East.

I also enjoy cooking and trying new foods. I learned how to make bacalhau after having it twice in Lisbon! And since moving to France, I've learned how to cook duck.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been to 15 weddings, engagement parties, and wedding showers since June 2015. Three weddings and an engagement were within the span of one month and in three different states.

Unknowingly wandered into the holiest site in Christianity (Church of the Holy Sepulchre) when traveling in Israel.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH
How to cook a lot of Middle Eastern dishes, and some words in Farsi (my 2nd language).

LEARN
If you speak French, I would love to practice speaking.
I'm open to learn anything at all... What's the fun in learning something if you already knew about it before?
