ABOUT ME

I'm twenty years old. California-born & raised. I'm a magazine editor and a lost economics student working towards a future in fashion design. I'm open-minded. I love taking photos and making music. I love building my i-tunes list with music I get from new people I meet. I love putting quarters into occupied and expired parking meters. I love my english-french dictionary. I love going vintage and flea market shopping. I love riding a bike to the middle of nowhere so that I can read books in peace. I love being a night owl.I love art museums and being outside. I love cooking dinner for people as much as I love IKEA (which is a lot). I also love drinking coffee and people watching. And of course, I'm all about good vibes and good times.

PHILOSOPHY

Never act from a position of fear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being more than just a random stranger that uses someones couch to sleep. I love telling and hearing stories, cooking dinners for others, sharing music, learning new things. By being open-minded and always willing to share and learn is how I will participate. I've got plenty of room for new ideas and thoughts and plenty stored to share.

Teach, Learn, Share

FOOD & MUSIC! I love to cook and I love to share music! I know a bit on monetary economics...sooo if you REALLY want to learn some economics...

I'm not really into traveling to countries for the sake of saying I visited it. I'd love to learn about the different cultures, people, life styles, everything that come with the place over the touristy stuff.
