As Helen Keller said, "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." So, I'm currently on a mission to travel to 50 countries and all 50 U.S. states before I turn 30, which will also be my 15th anniversary with Type 1 diabetes. (Ask me about all the close calls I've had overseas traveling with this chronic, life-threatening disease sometime). I like to venture onto the lesser-known paths and read a good book at the best coffee shop in town.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

As a solo female traveller, I of course had my doubts when I first heard about CS. But now that I've taken the plunge, I've learned that the danger in CS is not safety; it is inspiration. I leave each encounter ready to take on the world!

I'm excited to meet more people who are passionate about experiencing different cultures, hearing their stories about their traveling escapades, and learning about what makes their city special.

Jack Johnson, Ed Sheeran, We Three and foreign music like merengue or Fréro Delavega. Bienvenue Chez les Ch'tis is definitely up there on the list of favorite movies, as are She's the Man, The Proposal, and The Scarlet Pimpernel. I am a shameless Harry Potter fan and also enjoy reading the occasional piece of French literature. Victor Hugo is my all time favorite author.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I am told I can make some pretty mean crêpes... so I would be happy to let you decide for yourself! Of course, I would love to speak English, French or Spanish with you if you are looking to practice. My German is not fluent, but conversational, so up to you if that's of any value 😜
