CURRENT MISSION

make friends around the world

ABOUT ME

I will defy any stereotypes you may have about Texans. I am not a cowgirl. I am a French speaking, book-loving, tart-baking girl. I am a designer who is dedicated to finding culinary treasures wherever I go and collect friends along the way. I have lived on both coasts of the US as well as Texas as well as Geneva and Paris. I love meeting people from different countries and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to the CS website. Friends have introduced me to it and I'm excited to be a part of the community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to the couch surfing website but not to the philosophy. I met some of my closest friends by hosting them at my home at the request of another friend. I have also benefited from the generosity of friends and friends of friends who have let me stay with them during my travels both for work and fun.

Seeing where people actually live is a big part of traveling for me. I love to meet the people who live there as well as to see their homes and get a taste of the local life.
