CURRENT MISSION

See as much of Europe as I can in my year as an au pair

ABOUT ME

I am a very laid back person, who much prefers wandering to having a strict schedule. I really needed a break after college, so I took an aupair job in the French Alps, which has been quite a change from my usual maritime urban environment. After this year, who knows. Maybe grad school (although that would require needing to know what I want to be when I grow up), maybe I'll wander a bit more. In case you haven't guessed I'm not the best at sitting still.

PHILOSOPHY

One cannot have too large a party.
-Jane Austen

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently unable to host as I live with the family I work for, but if you are travelling to Embrun let me know because I would love to hang out and show you around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am still new to the whole couchsurfing game, but the one experience I have had was absolutely wonderful and I can't wait for next time.

兴趣

I feel equally at home in big cities and in the countryside. Things I like: crossword puzzles, sleeping outside, antique stores, ginger, people who laugh louder than I do, owls. Things I don't like: being required to wear socks, melon, bumping my elbows on door frames.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Watched a meteor shower from the roof of a school bus while discussing philosophy and eating macaroni.

教，学，和分享

I tend to be good at fairly useless things such as pinball and making meringues. I won't admit to being a good singer, because then I get asked to sing and I am far too shy for that. Unless I am drunk. In which case bring on the karaoke.
