CURRENT MISSION

Studying abroad in France for the 2012-2013 academic year! Hopefully I will get to meet you :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a student from UC Santa Barbara who loves everything about language, and how it's constantly changing. I'm outgoing and open to change in environment, particularly traveling. While I travel/study abroad, I'd like to experience different cultures and meet new people to broaden my horizons.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you wish to see in the world; action, not reaction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a pull-out couch, and I love to travel!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't had a Couchsurfing experience yet, but I would love to change that!

Interests

I love to travel (although I haven't done much of it yet, school makes it difficult to do so), and I love always having something to do. I'm an active person, and love to play sports or move around in some way. Very much an extreme sports junkie!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The view from Montmartre in Paris; it was amazing to see the view of Paris from there, yet made the city more of just a city because the smog and clutter was so visible. Although it was 6 years ago, I still remember it as if it were yesterday.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help with perfecting English and can teach French! I'd love to learn some more German :)
