Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up for Couchsurfing because I love adventures, and meeting new people! Currently, I am living in Paris, and while I'm in France I would really like to travel and explore more of the country. Since I'm not making that much money working as an assistant High School teacher, I thought this would be a cool way to travel, as well as meet and make new friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and my final year of High School I participated in a program called Watershed Wisdom. During the first two days of the trip we biked 100 miles to northern Wisconsin, biking roughly 50 miles each day. Then, we canoed down the entirety of the Milwaukee River until we reached Lake Michigan a week later, stopping to camp each night along the way. This adventure was certainly extraordinary; and by participating in it I really learned a lot, not only about our local watershed, but about myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that you can both teach, and learn something from, everyone you encounter through life. I would like to share with you my experiences, stories, perspective, and wisdom gained.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking, and I would be more than happy to cook a meal for you, sharing my passion for culinary arts. I could also share with you some of the music that I've written and recorded. Additionally, I know how to read Tarot Cards, so if you're interested in divination, I could share that with you too.
