Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Running away; circus optional. Looking for new friends in new places.
ABOUT ME
I am a documentary film making graduate, currently working freelance in Paris. Enjoy anything arty, crafty, music-y. Love cooking, experiencing new cultures and attempting to find the best mojitos in every town. I'm a very laid back person and would like to think I get on with anyone. I've grown up in a family with four other siblings, am used to pulling my own weight and firmly believe in "the more the merrier!"
PHILOSOPHY
I'm very much a believer in "try anything once" "it can't hurt" and "why not?" I'm a yes-girl; no one gets far turning everything down.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Absolutely none, unless you count unintentional couch surfing because tequila has been involved and home is very far away.
Interests
Japanese cooking, fine art, photography, documentary film, talking about macarons, thinking I can speak french, cycling, swimming, any kind of animals (even ones I'm allergic to) tequila, dancing shoes.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to make gyoza dumplings, or a pad Thai, or perhaps the basics of documentary film making! I'd like to be taught anything you're willing to teach.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am a good cook and am more than willing to cook in exchange for a spot to sleep. I really enjoy cooking for others and testing new recipes (although now I seem to have a menu of things I love to make and just rotate them each week!)
