CURRENT MISSION

forget the mission - just live.

ABOUT ME

I want to travel and experience and learn - I would travel and meet new people nonstop if I could! I'm in a masters program in art history - tell me your favourite piece of art! so I'm mainly in the US for now. I try to get overseas as much as possible, but I'm also curious about South America - I absolutely loved the Galapagos, Machu Picchu, and Ecuador, can't wait to get back to immerse myself in the language and culture!

PHILOSOPHY

You're young once, and then you die. Harsh, but it keeps me motivated and in the moment.

I like the saying: The sun rises, and the sun sets. Sometimes it rains. We live, and then we die. It helps me zen and let the little things go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm interested in meeting other surfers to travel together, right now I'm exploring the community experience. I finally have my own place, sofa-bed included, and want to 'pay it forward'; I want to thank all of my awesome hosts by being a host for other people! Well, that and I just love meeting and talking ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in Lyon for a few days and it was amazing; I met Sabrina a really cool lady from Strasbourg for the day; I met Alex in Valencia for drinks and a trip to the beach; Lille for two days, and back to Lyon for 3 more - I love it! It's a great way to travel, learn and meet people. That was over a year ago, and I want to get back into the community. Looking forward to the next experience!
