CURRENT MISSION

I'm in Europe for a year and want to see and experience as much of it as I can.

ABOUT ME

I'm an American but lived in Warsaw, Poland till I was 7. I don't really know how to describe myself. I have a really bad sense of direction and I'm almost always late -- I don't even know why. I'm really easygoing! I like everything except for olives.

PHILOSOPHY

Still working on it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm hoping to travel a lot through Europe, and people are welcome to stay in my apartment in Clermont-Ferrand. Though all I really have to offer is a floor.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any yet, but I'm excited to gain some.

Interests

I really love literature, and coffee in the morning, and people who get exited about things.
