I am a writer, I recently self-published three books of poetry, and am starting a screenplay. I currently work as a pastry chef in Austin, TX, but will be moving to France in August! I love art, dance and theatre. And I love love love food!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am going to be an au pair in Lyon starting at the end of August, so I thought I'd visit Paris (for the first time) for a bit before going south. I would love to get shown around by a local, artistic person, and hopefully make lasting connections to have friends to visit during my upcoming year in France!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am so willing to bake for you; I make amazing cakes, cheesecake, muffins, biscotti, and cookies! And will cook in general. I make savory dishes well, but I'm definitely better at pastries.

I would love it if you were into yoga and wanted to practice with me in your space and the park, and/or recommend studios to attend class!
