CURRENT MISSION

Show people the local way of having fun in Paris!

ABOUT ME

I get along with a ton of different people whether it be from different nationalities or different social backgrounds. Random facts: I am known as the slowest eater known to man, I'm pretty tall, I am a first generation American of French parents, cleaning the house calms me, I can't live without tea, and I think tattoos are cool ....

PHILOSOPHY

As the majority of people on this site would say: travel, eat, drink, smell, live! Although life is short, I want to live in as many different type of cities as possible. There is so much to do in a lifetime, why stay in the same place doing the same thing?

Work to live, don't live to work!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By giving you a whole another impression of Paris!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm relatively new to CS but have hosted a few people before. My roommates and I want to host people who demonstrate a sincere interest in learning about Paris and hanging out with us. I personally have yet to surf at any other person's place, but I have met up with people from CS for afternoon hang outs and drinks and it's been always amazing thus far.

Interests

Trying to take advantage of the outdoors is definitely critical. Humans were not meant to stay on couches all day so anything that involves being active is something that interests me. Concerts, picnics at the park, and sports are big hobbies. Tennis was a huge part of my life before and I taught it for a few years. That being said, I devote my Sundays to brunches and ballads in the city.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Depends on the mood. Current artists right now though are Drake, Mac Miller, Rebelution, August Burns Red, Rilo Kiley, and SOJA. I work with the music industry so you have to be open to a lot of type of genres. But if your favorite genre is country or classical, we probably won't have much in common ....

I am not a huge fan of chick flicks. Comedies are usually always a safer bet!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The coolest thing I did recently was almost avoid death while flying down a hill on a bike at 60 km/h in Gozo, Malta. As scary as it was, the adrenaline combined with the picturesque view on a Mediterranean sunset made it a lifetime memory.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will show you the best street food in Paris and some great areas to see street art. I'd be looking to host someone who wants to see more of the "underground" scene of Paris. I'm open to hosting as long as you are open to hanging out and trying out new things.
