ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm a student from California, and I am currently enjoying my semester in Paris. I've spent most of my youth traveling between North America and the Middle East, but now I am very excited that I have the opportunity to travel around Europe for the next few months!

I am quite adventurous and easygoing. I am open to and eager to learn about how you experience and feel about where you live.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind to others and be open to new experiences. Let new experiences change you so that you don't stay stagnant.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the next few months I plan on looking for places to stay during my various travels. In the future, once I return to Berkeley, I'd be interested in hosting too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although I am a newcomer to this website, I have a lot of experience hosting friends and acquaintances and staying over at people's places during my travels. Each time it's a great learning experience, and I am excited to continue learning about other people and places through this website.
