About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meet new people, learn new languages, see the world

ABOUT ME

Outgoing, spontaneous, and will talk to anyone about anything. I love people and I want to hear everyone's life story. I believe most people that dislike something only don't understand it. I'm still not sure what I'm doing with my life but I know traveling will always be a priority to me. I'm easy to please and am on the search for good music, food, and conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

"Without new experiences, something inside of us sleeps. The sleeper must awaken."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just moved from France to Milwaukee and will be hosting here once I find an apartment and get settled. For now, I'm happy to meet up with any Milwaukee travelers and help in any way I can! If you're in a crunch, I could probably find you a last minute couch with some friends if needed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All amazing experiences. I have met so many kind and unique people who I have learned from and who made my traveling experiences even better! Many of them I can call life-long friends. I feel very lucky to be a part of CS!

Interests

Learning languages! Learning anything. If I could be a student and keep learning forever, I would be.

More specifically, I love: Discovering new music, yoga, sports, reading, traveling (duh), learning languages and pedagogy, history, nerdy board games, drinking too much coffee, hiking, cooking, good conversation, game shows.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and seeing live music of any kind. Beirut, Radiohead, Regina Spektor, Alt-J, The Antlers, TV on the Radio, Tune-Yards, The Decemberists, My Morning Jacket, Band of Horses, more, more, and more.

Favorite book is The Alchemist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a year living in a small country town in France, which was a difficult but rewarding experience for me.

I hiked through the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy and fell in love with the landscape and the peacefulness of that area. I can't wait to go back someday!

Teach, Learn, Share

If we could do a music exchange, I'd love it:)
