Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To explore South Korea and share my exploits with my friends and family.
ABOUT ME
I'm a writer so I'm always drawing inspiration from my surroundings and looking for a muse of some sort. Being in a new country really sparks my creativity there's so much undiscovered beauty lurking behind every corner. It really makes me slow down and relish it. Life here is ideal. Laid back and worry free. I still have my quirks. I'm looking for new friends to chill with and go on adventures. An adventure-buddy. Even someone that I can share my writing with and get constructive feedback. I love reading obviously, I'm a sucker for a good story. I have a cat, JoJo, a new puppy, Gilbert. Together we're unstoppable lol. I've been waiting my whole life to have an adventure like this and I'm so lucky that it worked out. Somehow somewhere the stars alligned and I got here. Now it's up to me to do something extraordinary. Wanna help?
PHILOSOPHY
I question everything around me. I hate it when someone tells me what to do without a reason behind. I find it important to enlighten people on the ever important gender gap. I try not to live in the past, but it's hard sometimes. I believe in journaling. Intense pain only makes us stronger. I always give people second chances, even if they don't deserve it. I'm on the fence about if people can really change, I've collected evidence for both sides. If people cannot change, then that means I can't change, and I still remain hopeful that I can change some of my bad habits.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
This is my first time on CS so I'm not really sure where I stand. I'm open to hosting, but not too sure about it. I'm really here to make friends in the city and surrounding areas in which I reside.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So far CS has been helpful in finding new friends and contacting them. Most everyone will responde to my messages.
Interests
I'm interested in nature, flowers, leaves, plants, bushes if they're interesting and drawing them in colored pencil or ink. Making books others will want to read. Being random and loving it. Taking walks. People watching. Avid coffee/tea drinker. Addicted to ice cream. French culture and language. Shopping. Movies. Blue Moon. Teaching and learning in the process.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I fell off the wall in front of the Palais de Pape (Pope's Palace) in France. Not a super high wall, but jeez who falls off a wall. The most amazing thing is nature, the stars on a dark, clear nite. Anyone who lives in a city can tell you how special and rare those are. This is probably the most amazing thing I've done come to South Korea. I also performed dance concerts three years in high school, I'll never forget my dance training and being on a stage.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have a huge compacity to teach writing. And understand how to read like a writer. To read your work and be able to analyze it objectively. I also can school someone in French even though I've forgotten parts of it myself. Learning together. I have a huge heart and sometimes I wear it on my sleeve. If anyone needs someone to have a heart to heart with I'm your person.
