CURRENT MISSION

Make the world remember our names!

ABOUT ME

Here we go:
I was born in France but moved to the U.S. when I was 8, so I'm bilingual. Then I moved to Brussels in my senior year in High School and went back to the U.S. for college. I just graduated in May 2011!!
I am now traveling and enjoying the summer, then I'll be looking for a job hard core and going back to school for a Masters. Wish me luck.
I'm obsessed with traveling, learning about new things, having fun, laughing until it hurts, and essentially enjoying life to the fullest!!!
For all my favorite things -- keep reading!

PHILOSOPHY

No regrets.
Doing everything to be happy -- but not at the expensive of others.
Making others happy.
Seeing and bringing out the best in people.
Realizing that life is the greatest show on earth!

“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace" -Jimi Hendrix

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couch surfing experience last year when I went to Berlin and Vienna. BEST TIME OF MY LIFE! Couch Surfing is simply the greatest thing invented (with the Internet and comfy beds). I loved learning about the country from a local point of view. The people were amazing and now I'm hooked!

Interests

Things I like:
Listening to a new song, watching a good show/movie, hanging out with friends, laughing until I have to pee, riding my bike at night, going out, telling jokes, visiting a place for the first time, reading a good book by the fireplace, sleeping, eating great food and McDonald's cheeseburgers, trying new things, turning off the alarm clock and going back to bed, the first snow of the year, swimming in the ocean for the first time of the year, seeing friends I haven't seen in a while, taking the plane, driving, blasting music in my room and dancing like crazy, making silly faces in pictures, never taking myself too seriously, the salt of the ocean on my skin, sand between my toes, Central Park, going picnicking in the most random places, visiting museums, going to bed so early in the morning after a great night people are going to work at the same time, collecting magnets, going to concerts AND SO MUCH MORE!
Really, I like the simple things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

TRAVELING IS THE BEST THING! Anytime I go somewhere new and learn about the culture -- It's something new, exciting, and amazing to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can only share the experiences I have gone through.
I can speak English and French -- so that can be taught! I know a lot about movies and TV shows -- but I'm not sure how that can be taught!? I'm not very good at music or art buuut I like to think that I can enjoy those things without being too good at it myself :)
Really, I like to learn. I'd learn just about anything if someone is willing to teach me!
