Hello all! I am currently a student studying abroad in Paris. I want to take advantage of my time here in Europe by meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I am pretty easy going (according to my friends and family) and I hope to build great relationships with the people I meet here.

I am also VERY open minded. Which is always a good thing right? :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hostels are great and all, but every now and then I prefer to stay with locals or anyone who actually lives in the area I'm traveling to. It's more enriching.

Interests

I am an avid movie watcher and reader. I will rarely say no to watching a film :). I love learning new things and listening to peoples stories. I'm fascinated by diversity and people who go outside the box.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Alchemist is a must read.

I love any kind of music, but my absolute favorite is Jazz.

The 1755 earthquake in Lisbon, Portugal had great influence in the enlightenment movement. After the earthquake destroyed 80% of Lisbon people couldn't understand how God could punish them so much. The earthquake occurred on All Saint's Day which is a day to remember the dead in certain religions and the people who were untouched were the Muslims and Jews who lived in the hills. People began to research a new solution as to why the earthquake happened, hence the thought of science playing a role in life began.
