CURRENT MISSION

To discover the world, one couch at a time!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Bella :) I'm currently living between Paris and New York attending university with a major in gender, sexuality, and psychology. I'm in New York (now) during my breaks to work. I'm a human rights activist and hope to one day get my PhD in human sexuality or sex therapy.

I love adventure and learning. I'm a sponge for information and action. But at the same time I love having a calm conversation with a glass of wine. I'm really adaptable to whatever situation is going on.

I didn't put any "places I want to go" because I literally want to go everywhere.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your feels! At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed using this website twice and both were really great experiences. But I can't count how many times I've used this site to meet up with people. I've met some great people when I least expected it. I'm consistently amazed at how wonderful people are. I'm really looking forward towards meeting new people.

Interests

I love art especially fashion. I'm really into psychology, sociology, gender, and sexuality studies. I love pop culture, music, movies, tv shows. I can pretty much find redeeming qualities in anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing? That's hard! Being in Spain when they won the world cup was absolutely unforgettable. I'll never be able to experience that again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a makeup artist so I can teach anything regarding makeup, I'll even do your makeup! I want to be a therapist one day so I'm open for anything regarding that . Or hell, I'm good for just a grand old time, whether it's an adventure where only the wind will take you or a calmer time.

I want to learn about culture. There are so many different cultures, I want to learn them all. It's why I live to travel- to learn.
