CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much as I can from life while I am young and free.

ABOUT ME

I love making new friends, especially while traveling. Every moment of my travels, sweet or sour, has been exhilarating and I am always looking to share new experiences with others. I'm a friendly, adventurous girl from California, and I'd see myself as pretty laid-back and easy to talk to. My passions are dancing, cooking, writing, hiking, snowboarding and yoga. I also recently got into rock-climbing and am slowly getting better in that.

PHILOSOPHY
What we think, we become.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I'm currently renting a room in Paris, I cannot host at the moment, but when I return to California I will be happy to host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a bit of a beginner, but I've used CS in Amsterdam, Grenoble, Barcelona, Dublin and Lyon so far. I've attended a few events as well, like a CS Dutch Pancake party in Paris, where I met tons of people from around the world. Every experience I've had so far has been positive and different from one place to the next. I love how much CS has enriched my travels and how pleasantly I am surprised over and over again at the kindness of strangers :) It seems like great friendships are always waiting to be formed in this community.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cook with me! Although you may have your doubts, I am an excellent vegan cook; I love working with the freshest ingredients possible and pursuing exciting and unusual flavor combinations. I can teach you lots of English, or a bit of French. I can teach you how to salsa dance a bit if you're a girl. I can make you fall in love with the great outdoors.
