About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as possible in my free time while being an au pair in France. I want to meet as many creative and fun people all around Europe as I can!

ABOUT ME

I am a very easy-going person. I love to meet people and have. By "having fun" I mean, dancing, biking, camping, drawing, going to concerts, sewing. I love doing almost anything as long as I am enjoying myself and the people around me. I haven't traveled much in my life, but plan to as much as possible in Europe!

PHILOSOPHY

Stay open, be chill, have a grand ol' time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to offer myself as someone who can meet someone for coffee or drinks. If you need company for a few days and I'm in the area I would love to help.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The only couchsurfing experience I've had so far is when my friend hosted a Swiss couple for a night. We all had dinner and then went to a show at a local bar, we all had a blast! Now I plan to visit that couple from Bern, Switzerland when I go to France.

Interests

I love being creative and making things, whether that's clothes, decorations, drawings, etc. Having a few drinks with people I enjoy, dancing. I love being outside and in the sun, laying or swimming on the beach, going to endless shows(concerts), sitting around bonfires at night, or just roaming around aimlessly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done in my life so far is come to France!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like couchsurfing to be a place where I get to meet people that I mignt never get to in normal circumstances. I can share my humor, optimism, eagerness to explore, and creativety.
