A fact that sums me up: Lived in France for 2 years and left half my clothes there so I could fit all the cheese in my luggage.

Now living in Alexandria, just outside DC.

Every time I have couchsurfed it’s been my favorite experience of the trip. Even just doing meetups with the community— this is an incredible group of outgoing, passionate people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Staying at Thich Nhat Hanh's Village des Pruniers for a meditation retreat. First and only time doing something like that, and it was absolute medicine for the soul. Just outside of Bordeaux.

Exchanging music and embarrassing stories. Anything art. I’m a Graphic Designer and paint murals :)
