August 2021 update:
Helped my best friend move from Detroit to Huntington Beach for her job and am trying to discover the neighborhood/LA and OC life.

After growing up in America, I lived for two years in Japan during high school. Then, I moved to Paris in 2011

I'm very passionate about science, languages, long-distance biking, swimming, cultures, nature and sustainable development.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to exchange with people when I travel and get to know a place more intimately, not just take pictures of landmarks.

I also believe in solidarity, and that we need to rethink how we exchange and learn from each other. Not looking at each other like money, but as books, each of us with our own story. I love to learn from people and see what makes us human.
