ABOUT ME

I lived in Paris for 7 years and I'm re-beginning my life in Montpellier.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is meant to be lived and I've chosen a path of no regrets. I left a stable life in the United States to seek a crazy new life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer of 2000, I played my violin with a Chinese orchestra, got to be on the Great Wall, and visited Beijing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Shanghai.

I have jell-o wrestled on a rooftop in Brooklyn, mud wrestled in New Orleans, and pudding wrestled in Mississippi.

I have had the pleasure of visiting three separate Eiffel Towers: Austin, TX, Paris, TX, and Paris, France.
