Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Trilingualism in its maximum capacity.
ABOUT ME
Although I'm not too great at it, I love taking pictures. Thus I carry around Sasha (My canon XSi) as often as I can. (:
Other than that, I'm currently studying abroad in Bordeaux, France..where the wine is plentiful & the peanut butter..not so much. But nevertheless, it's a beautiful city. Of course, not comparable to Berkeley, CA where I study French & Psychology. Berkeley is beautiful in a different, diverse kind of way. Nor does it compare to San Diego, my hometown of 15 years (: ..where warmth and familiarity draw up a beauty unique to my eyes.
In the meantime, I'm just taking advantage of the close proximity of the European countries and the absolutely AMAZING food within my reach. Dangerous. haha.
PHILOSOPHY
Instead of praying for something to happen, you should pray for the courage, the determination, and the endless desire to make that something happen.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've had the opportunity and privilege to couchsurf in many countries, and each time I experience pleasant surprises that I would've never been able to experience if I hadn't couchsurfed.
Interests
I live to eat. I can discuss food and flavors all day, as I believe that food is one of the best ways to get to know someone. One of my favorite things so far about France is the time spent around a dinner table. Conversations flow more easily and and food tastes even better when you've good company.

Music, Movies, and Books
Pride & Prejudice. The Little Prince. I love reading; one of my projects for this year is to read all of the books on the 100 BBC book list!
I love movies but I don't watch enough.
& My musical preference depends completely on context of the situation.
