ABOUT ME

I'm currently spending the year in Paris, and my study abroad experience has been incredible so far-- the people, the sites, the traveling, the cuisine :) Good stuff.

I really like to laugh.
I'd have to say that purple is my favorite color.
In the summer I drive with the windows down and the music up up up, and I create my own lyrics for songs I don't know...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I'm only able to surf and meet for coffee, etc. I hope that in the future I'll be able to offer a couch to surfers, and provide for other travelers what my hosts have provided for me.
This is a great community-- a great way for people who appreciate different cultures/languages and travel in general to get to know each other and gain memorable experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, so good!

Interests

Chillaxing with friends, singing, traveling all over this place, glancing at boulangerie display windows in Paris, getting stuck in the rain/watching people fiddle with their umbrellas, sleeping late, having picnics, dance parties, picking fruit by season, listening to delicious standards.
