I want to learn everything, read everything and go everywhere. just trying to breath it all in and keep it until old age takes it.

Currently I'm really into French kickboxing, but I'm also an artist, snowboarder, singer, and lover of coffee, dogs, and anything art. For a skinny gal I really love good food, good wine, and strong coffee.

I lived in Los Angeles, California for awhile, & traveled up and down the East Coast in the US, especially in Virginia & Washington DC bc I live/study there.
Since coming to Europe I've traveled to Venice, Seville, Barcelona, Rouen, Deauville, Paris, Rouen, Stuttgart, the Pyrénées Mountains for snowboarding at Les Angles, Berlin, and planning on traveling as much as physically/financially possible till I have to go back (or not)

I'm pretty much the same as every couchsurfer though, just looking to meet people and make new friends/connections, memories and learning from everyone and everything. Conversations with strangers are occasionally the most enlightening and memorable ones. I wanna be old and stuffed full of ideas and stories I can share vs. a big house stuffed with shit I don't need.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm inspired so much by the concept of CS. I love that this site enables people to more easily connect for sharing cities, languages, and good times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left comfortable life in America, friends, family, and university to travel and learn new language (I guess everyone on couchsurfing does that though)

going to live in LA on a whim which turned out to be the most memorable summer of my life

cliff diving, in various places. There's not much to do in my hometown so you do dumb stuff

Lots of other good memories, I'd rather talk about them though :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

everyone is an expert in something, I try to learn something from everyone I meet

If I can practice french with you that would be wonderful

What I Can Share with Hosts

Henna!!

I can cook some really yummy vegetarian things, but I can make delicious vegan or carnivorous things too. My favorite style of food to cook is Asian, and spicy stuff

of course I can talk in English with you if you want to practice or if you prefer it :)

and I'm also pretty skilled at portraiture so I could do a portrait of you with a friend or partner (for free of course) I can draw you like one of my French ladies ;)
