CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying every single day- making some plans but mostly seeing what life brings me

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and have new experiences. I just spent a year abroad in France and was wonderful. I love my host family and I met great people.

I'm a musician- this is my life passion... I write songs, play accoustic guitar, learn and play other composer's songs...

I'm spontaneous, and silly. I think dancing, laughing, and kicking back are important activities

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment, la vie est belle!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live with my family for the summer so I can't host people right now, but if someone manages to make it up to this little island I'd be glad to meet them for coffee or something. Once I'm back in Portland for school I should be able to host people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Marseille with a friend and it was a great experience!
