CURRENT MISSION

to make something of myself

ABOUT ME

i'm from a not-so-interesting city near los angeles california. i used to spend a lot of my free time in la visiting a close friend (then he moved to new york forever and i want to cry every time i think about it). our favorite hobby is sampling all of the delicious cuisine the city has to offfer. i go to school in sunny orange county just a five minute drive from the beach! right now i'm studying abroad in grenoble, france. france great but i miss my parents and my sister who is also my best friend. i specialize in the two most unrelated areas ever: biology and french. i know it's an odd combination but you do what you love, right? if everything goes my way i'll be in pharmacy school in a few years.

i'm an open-minded person who is super easy to get along with. i like meeting new people and finding out all about what they've got to offer, especially if they have good stories. i like telling stories too.

PHILOSOPHY

on s'étonne trop de ce qu'on voit rarement et pas assez de ce qu'on voit tout les jours.

i'll almost always take what i can get.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i'm looking for couches in europe and offering mine when i get home to the us. i would let you stay chez moi but, because i live with a french granny, that's not allowed for the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

didn't have much success while i was in europe but you can come here if you want.

Interests

i like desserts (especially ice cream), snowboarding, japanese animation and comics, eating out, traveling, learning french, speaking franglais, swimming, waterpolo, knitting, nintendo ds, playing the viola, cooking, petites randonées

i have a phobia of guns and i'm none too fond of babies
