PHILOSOPHY

I think experience is the best way to learn and to be human. I am tired of this new technological age where people think connecting is through a screen-I want to get out into the world and meet people and taste new foods and speak new languages-even if I sound silly! I am in a time of my life where I am not tied down to school or a full time job, so there is no better time for me to do these things!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to hang out with my host and learn about where I am through the eyes of a local.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed some through Europe meeting great hosts in Brussels, Chartres, and Paris. I love to chat and cook and go out with hosts to see the city the way they do-not through the same old touristy things.

Интересы

I love music- I play the ukulele and sing. I love bicycling and painting and enjoy making, looking at and learning about art. I like to make pieces out of found objects. I like to grow my own food when I can and make up cooked concoctions in the kitchen. I like to work with my hands-fixing things, creating, knitting, etc. I obviously love to travel and learn about new life ways. Je parle le francais.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

One of my favorite trips abroad was when a few friends and I went backpacking through The Gambia. We made so few plans and nothing turned out the way we thought it would- but in a wonderful way! This was while I was Living in Senegal, which in itself was such a wonderful time in my life.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I love to eat and cook with people, so learning how to make a local dish with my host would be a fun learning and bonding experience for me.
