Hey, I’m a British-American raised in Los Angeles, California who deeply enjoys immersing herself in new cultures! I've spent the last 8 years living in Europe, with one year in The Netherlands and about 5-6 years in France (where I currently live). I really enjoy writing, as well as politics and economics (the two subjects I study). I consider myself fairly laid-back and open-minded and am always down for an interesting conversation and a good meal, as I also love to cook. I’m definitely a big nature lover as well, so I really enjoy spending time outdoors whenever possible :-)

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people from around the globe! I'm also hoping to strengthen my foreign language skills and learn more about different cultures by meeting locals. Some of my best experiences while traveling have been via CS, so I’m hoping to make many more memories!

Música, películas y libros

I enjoy classic rock, blues, soul, and funk, but I'm always open to discovering new music genres. I'm also a huge fan of films; I recently got a subscription to the streaming platform Mubi, and am really enjoying watching films from all over the world. Recent favorites include "The Worst Person in the World" and "Great Freedom".

Some of my favorite authors include George Orwell, Mark Twain, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Albert Camus. I adore classic English Literature, but I'm also into books on politics and current affairs, as well as feminism. My favorite books include 1984, The Glass Castle, Sorcières, Columbine (a dark read), and Frankenstein, among many, many others.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I visited the DMZ between North and South Korea. I also went skydiving in Australia!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

English and French, cooking, discussions on politics (if you're up for it)!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

If you're not a native English speaker, I would be more than happy to help you practice English or teach you more about my language (I also have my TEFL). Otherwise, I can cook a meal, pay for groceries, or perhaps treat you to a drink/a good meal!
