CURRENT MISSION

To see as many new places, cultures and people as possible. I believe that open-mindedness comes so much easier to those who have traveled and who have been open to things outside of what they already know.

ABOUT ME

I spent a year traveling and studying abroad in Leeds, England and have visited 20 countries. I am very open-minded, always fascinated by new people and cultures, lifestyles, and it has to be said...coffee. I am a creative person, working to become a graphic designer and I appreciate individuality. I'm pretty outgoing, I laugh, a lot, and take a lot of pleasure in the little things.

PHILOSOPHY

I have to quote something that I found on a wall in Lisbon stating "Parfois on a l'impression que l'on va faire un voyage et c'est le voyage qui nous fait." -Paco

I really do feel that life is about the journey and not the destinations. A passion driven life is most satisfying to me. Being open, taking risks, and stepping out of your comfort zone every once in a while can be the best thing you ever do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being currently settled in San Francisco, I am seeking my next destination and adventure. In the meantime, I hope to provide a wonderful experience for other surfers when my couch is available! I think this is a great idea and it really builds trust in others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to experience couch surfing! It sounds like a great opportunity to see new places and to meet people well-acquainted with the area. What better way to see somewhere new?! I look forward to surfing and to meeting new people!

Interests

oo wow...so many! Of course, traveling :), a good cup of coffee, films [romantic comedies are my favorite], nights in, nights out on the town, design, writing, meeting new people, fall colors, city streets, learning new languages, hole-in-the-walls, taking pictures.
