Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Taking it all in, bottling it, and distributing it to others.
ABOUT ME
I was born in Paris, and I moved to Milwaukee when I was 5. I have lived in USA ever since, and I can now say I have covered both coasts and some of the middle too. I love to travel, and I connect well with others who do too. My biggest regrets in life involve not taking the time to really go out and see the world in great depth, and I hope to correct this in the next few years. I want my couch to be a place where people feel comfortable and take advantage of the great location I have in this city. Then, maybe when I embark on my journeys in a few years, you can return the favor. :)
PHILOSOPHY
There is so much to see and to learn, and meeting new people is an awesome way to get a glimpse into other lifestyles, other cultures, and a different sphere of knowledge. Can we all just get along?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I just joined, so this is all speculative, but I hope to host people traveling to SF. Also, I will be exploring some of the groups on the website in the meantime.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I surfed by brother's couch in Boston quite a bit when he was going to school at BU. I would like to have more couch surfing experiences soon.
Interests
Socializing in any way. Live music. Skiing, cooking, eating, drinking, mixing cocktails, driving, playing sports. I like all sorts of activities. Usually, they fall into one of two groups. Those that I like enough to make time for, and those that I don't find time to do. Then, someone encourages me to make the time for something, and I realize I really love that too. So feel free to challenge me.
