I am an American girl currently living in Paris. I love learning new things and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I firmly believe that the best way to experience a city is through its people. Every past voyage I look back on is sprinkled with a thousand lovely memories- but the most precious of all of those are always the ones woven together with flowering relationships, good laughs, and shared experiences.

Interests

I love running, cooking, reading, writing, creating… I find deep satisfaction in curling up by a warm fire with a book, seeking out coffee shops as the means for a haven & a latté, using a map successfully- but also allowing myself to get a little lost along the way…

Christmas, C.S. Lewis, the sound of a violin, rainy days, nuts, stories, Cinderella

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have actually come to realize that I serve a much better purpose as a sponge than as a toothbrush.

(That is to say, I get to bring a lot more value to the table when I recognize & soak up the very best of what others have to offer… rather than fine-tuning myself down to the very last detail {a clearly impossible task} for the justification of a critical eye.)
