I am currently a student once more! Back in Paris, studying for my masters and looking to make new amazing memories in a city I called home 5 years ago.

I am fascinated by how experiences shape our lives and how the people we meet/the places we go affect our life story. I am on a lifelong journey to create the most colorful story I can create. I guess my life goal then is to create this wonderful quilt of enriching experiences in an effort to tell the most inspired stories.

I am feeling in sort of a rut in my life. Therefore, I would love to make tons of new and unforgettable experiences and get out of my kind-of-boring, not-as-exciting-as-it-can-be lifestyle while meeting incredible people who may shape my life in any way, big or small.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I thrive on interactions with other people. I love to travel and meet new people along the way! Most of my greatest experiences in life were amazing because of the people who were a part of them. One thing I love to do is trade stories with others and what better way to do that than in a community of friendly travelers?! I love to talk to people. Also, I generally love the comfort of having someone who can help you get around in a foreign area. It can make the experience a lot more enjoyable.

Interests

Books books books. I love to read. I love to read books, buy books, collect books, borrow books, trade books, and carry books. And I love to talk about books.
I also love to collect and write in journals. This is to free me of my burdensome thoughts, to help me remember long-forgotten memories, to give me a glimpse of what I felt in the past, and to leave a tangible, personal trace of my history in this great, big world.
I love watching Korean dramas and if you do too, I would love to discuss how terrible yet amazing they are.
I am a very amateur photographer. And lately, I've been more into the live-in-the-moment attitude, so I don't take many daily photos anymore. But I still take daily videos to recompose into a moving montage of my interesting years.
I like to travel, of course. I love good food and I have a particularly weak spot for ice cream. I enjoy collecting pins, even though I don't wear them... I love lying in the grass of parks.
And besides my fondness for cities, I love grand, epic, sweeping displays of mother nature in all of her glory! (Read: I love mountains.)
