I only have space for one person at a time. Do not send requests for more than one person, thanks!

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in LA, CA. My interests include (but aren't limited to): fashion, music (goth/industrial, rock/metal, classical, jazz, electronic and world), veganism (and other compassionate and eco-friendly movements), ART (of all mediums), reading, feminism and anti-rascism (because bigotry sucks), and vegan cupcakes!

PHILOSOPHY

"Learn as if you would live forever,
Live as if you would die tomorrow."

"If you can walk, you can dance,
If you can talk, you can sing."

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to couch surf while traveling Europe and meet interesting people. I can show people around Gothenburg and maybe host some people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in Berlin, Germany and ended up making a couple of friends through this site! I've been given tours from friendly locals in London, Berlin and San Francisco. I've couched surfed at a friend's in San Francisco and Leipzig. I'll be staying with friends in Herne, Germany and Rouen, France.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Camping in the Channel Islands (near Santa Barbara in California) as a teen was the best outdoor experience in my life. It changed my view on life and the environment.
