I was born in Paris to an American mother and French father. I grew up in the suburbs, went to undergrad in Paris, and just finished my first year of law school in New York. I love to travel, on long vacations as well as quick weekend trips.

While studying law and art history as an undergrad, I also attended an acting school and was in several plays in Paris, including a children's play about a ladybug and a scarecrow who traveled the world together and meet various funny animals!

I am also very interested in anti-trafficking work. I worked at an anti-trafficking organization in Paris for 8 months and am now exploring the field in New York during my summer job.

When I get home from work, I like to cook (on some days) and, as of recently, to cross-stitch, while watching shows or videos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to couchsurfing and hoping to have some great experiences meeting new people and traveling to new places! I love to travel and discover new places. Since arriving in the US, I got to visit Tucson and Austin for the first time!

My favorite way to travel is to visit friends who are living somewhere I've never been or I haven't spent much time in. I am hoping that Couchsurfing will allow me to travel in the same way without limiting myself to the places my friends happen to be.

I also would love to host people eventually (I currently live with roommates who might not be up for hosting but in about a year I should be able to).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anyone who may be interested about how to reduce your waste (like grocery shopping with cloth bags, composting, buying second-hand, etc.)

I can also tell anyone who may be interested what I have learned about trafficking and prostitution (in the US and Europe).

Finally, I can also speak French or English with anyone who wants to practice with a native speaker.
