CURRENT MISSION

To smile. A lot. That´s a mission, isn´t it? And learn French!

ABOUT ME

I'm friendly and kind, a little bit shy, and not at all a typical American. I love to learn and am unhappy when I'm stuck in one place for too long. I don't smoke, but don't mind others smoking. I tell the truth more than I should, but know when to keep my mouth shut... usually. The only fight that is ever won is one that is avoided entirely. Surf the world!

PHILOSOPHY

Kindness and politeness is never wasted.

And I always try to treat others as I want to be treated.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I only just found out about this while I'm traveling, but the moment I get my own place again, I'll make sure my couch is open for company. ^^

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Rostock, Germany! Tons of fun, best host ever! Also surfed in Turku and Helsinki, Finland and now in Paris, France! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Your couch cannot escape my wily ways!

Interessi

Reading, learning, drawing, writing, um... yeah. I'm a total history freak. People talk about the sights in London, I start talking about the changes made and things to see due to the Fire of London. Yay Christopher Wren!

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

The sunset from Suomenlinna. And I actually said a Finnish word correctly once. It was on accident, but I did it!

New one! I got to stay in a couple Chateaus in Loire AND stay a night on Mont St Michel! That was a boyhood dream come true. That place is amazing.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I´m a very good cook and I enjoy cooking for others. Also, I´m pretty good at drawing so if anyone needs a little help with basic principles, just lemme know!
