Currently studying abroad in Lyon, France until the end of summer (2018)

I'm a graphic designer student, aspiring to become an animator, with the hope of learning several new languages during my travels, specifically French, Korean, Japanese, and German. Yes, it's a lot, but I have time, so why not! I'm a very friendly person, as well as responsible, and would love to meet people from around the world to share stories and laugh.

I'm hoping to travel the world, learning different languages, and experiencing different cultures first hand, rather than believe all the stereotypes I encounter in the news and online. Eventually I hope to write a book about these experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals and learn about their lives, thereby experiencing an inherent beauty in each destination to which normal tourists are blind to.

I love to listen and write down stories about people and the life they have lived, stories about adventures and goals and dreams they have.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking the plunge to travel alone for the first time.....and still doing it lol

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn more about people and cultures from around the world, and all the many personalities and beliefs, art, and as corny as it is, the smiles of the people and beauty of the world.

In addition, I would love to learn how to camp, climb mountains, ride a bike, and swim... properly. I would also like to become a more adventurous person, and stop fearing things outside my comfort zone

I can share my love of art and the stories of my travels.
