About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world, learn about it's people, eat it's food

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in everything about traveling, especially meeting new people and learning about other cultures. I'm fascinated by languages, and I'm really into food, too. I live in France for the moment, but I move around a lot these days.

PHILOSOPHY

I heard someone say once, "Anything worth doing is worth doing imperfectly," and I think that holds a lot of truth. I believe it's important to make things happen for yourself, even if there are some risks. Plus, the "imperfections" sometimes end up being the best part!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to use this project to go abroad and learn about other people and new places; hopefully in the future I'll be able to offer a couch of my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed for two days in Kinsale, Ireland, and it was great! My host was friendly and laid-back, and we spent many hours chatting over tea :).

Interests

I love traveling, eating and trying new food (and old favorites), cooking, reading, writing, meeting new people, and I'm a huge language nerd.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently, I cycled solo around Slea Head Drive on the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland. It was incredible. Also, several years ago I spent a summer living with a family in Costa Rica; that was very memorable as well.
