About Me

I recently graduated from university with a degree in French and photography. I love languages and linguistics as well as observing and experiencing human connections and interactions. I very much enjoy experiencing culture. I consider myself a little reserved but not shy. I love to try new things and I would say that I'm very open to most things if not everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I enjoy everything about the traveling experience. However, through Couchsurfing you go beyond just travel, you live the culture. Yes, I did start because it makes traveling amazingly affordable, although I was quickly enlightened about the rewards of having a local host tell you about their home and the marvels around it. The connections you make and the insights you're taught are truly priceless. Couchsurfing for me is no longer cheap travel but rather a way to connect and share culture and experiences.
