CURRENT MISSION

appreciate the moments!

ABOUT ME

Like everyone on here, I'm obsessed with traveling. I like to think I'm an easygoing, adventurous person who can be funny and make people smile and laugh. I'm originally from CA, went to school in NY, spent time abroad in both Paris and Berlin, taught English in Macon, Bourgogne last year, interned at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC over the summer and am now back in Paris working in a restaurant/wine bar, learning a bit about wine and improving my French! Next fall I will begin learning about wine in earnest, taking a course in wine and management for the year.

PHILOSOPHY

Life happens but once. Do what you can, when you can, where you are, with who you're with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I have only surfed due to housing situations that aren't compatible with hosting. Hopefully some day I will be able to reciprocate and host some surfers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only positive things to say about my experiences with couchsurfing, I've met some completely interesting and awesome people and constantly tell friends to try it out
