CURRENT MISSION

To laugh every day. To meet new people and learn new things from them. To love every moment.

ABOUT ME

I eat too much, I drink too much, and I talk too much. I'm also very clumsy, and I injure myself quite frequently. That being said, one of my favorite things is to enjoy the company of whomever I'm with, whether we're climbing a mountain or venturing off into a night of senseless nonsense. I grew up with music - my parents met in a band and I play several instruments, so music is a huge part of my life and who I am. I enjoy listening to, talking about, and playing music, and right now my biggest dream is to be the fiddle player in a bluegrass band. One of my friends once told me that I lead a very whimsical life (after I ordered chocolate milk with whipped cream on it at a restaurant) and ever since then, I have tried to incorporate as much whimsy into my life as possible. I think I could have fun doing just about anything, and I am proud of my ability to always make the best out of the situation at hand. I like to meet quirky people who make me feel a little uncomfortable at first - in my experience, those are the people who make the best kind of friends, and who can help you learn things about yourself that you would never have known.

PHILOSOPHY

"I believe that we are magic, that all things are possible that life is precious, that peace is reasonable, that laughter is special, that blessings are divine, that love is grand."

"Unless you love, your life will flash by."

"Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couch surfing! A lot of my friends have told me such positive things that I decided to join. While I'm living in Paris, I won't be able to have any surfers because I live with a family, but I plan on opening my home to surfers as soon as I move back home.
