CURRENT MISSION

To live, love, learn and laugh.

ABOUT ME

What a tricky thing to write. I'm still figuring this one out...but I do know that I enjoy real connections with people over superficial things. I love nothing more than live music, or watching a good movie, or having a conversation that makes you think long after the last word is spoken. I also like to write things down and I like to read what others have written down.

PHILOSOPHY

Leave everybody better than you found them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe that this is a beautiful initiative and will do everything that I can to keep it and its good reputation going. Simply put, I will make sure that everyone I meet is reminded that there are mostly good people on this earth.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been CouchSurfing for over a year now and cannot speak more highly of it. I have met people who have become life-long friends, experienced the true essence of the places I have visited, and created memories that hotels and hostels simply cannot offer a traveller. Although I am unable to host at the moment, I love meeting up with people for a coffee or to show them around Paris. I look forward to being able to host people in the future to give back to this wonderful site that has offered me so much!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing Uluru for the first time took my breath away; it is so grand and dwarfing!

Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge with the Manhattan skyline spread out before me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Though I can't offer a couch to people right now, I love to teach them all about French culture and Paris - or at least pass on the things that I have learnt over the last two years. Working in the tourism industry, I love being able to introduce people to all the popular sites and monuments, but also being able to show them the real side of Paris that guide books don't often mention.
