I come from a diverse linguistic and cultural background- born in France from an American mother and a Chilean father. This has played a big role in my love to travel, my open-mindedness and tolerance of differences, my interest in languages and cultural exchange, and similarities and difference in ways of thinking.

I love life, exploring it by seeking new experiences, enjoying it by appreciating the present moment. I love growing. I am both passionate and thoughtful.

In my relationship with others: I have no preconceived idea of what makes a person "good". I don't judge any kind of behavior I don't fully understand. And if I do understand it, I have an explanation for it, and, trust me, it is very rare that I find it "bad".
If your intentions are good, I will see them, or at least try to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love having new experiences, and getting to know a place more that just superficially. Couchsurfing is great for that, by providing unique opportunities to meet locals.

Getting to know people provokes emotions and creates meaning. We associate the emotions and their meaning with the place we felt them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach languages (french, english, spanish, russian), mathematics, and the card game "set" that I carry around with me.

I would love to learn anything that is worth learning!! Or a nice simple song on the guitar.
