Hi! My name is Mariel and I recently graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a double major in anthropology and international studies. I am about to move to Paris for 7 months to teach English with Tapif and I am super excited about this new life experience. I love traveling, making art (and looking at art), and eating delicious food.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing so I can afford to live in Paris while I get my life set up a bit and find a long-term apartment.

Intereses

I am interested in film and telivision, history, art, and traveling. I paint all the time and recently I have started selling my paintings.

Música, películas y libros

My favorite artists include the Lumineers, Dr. Dog, Grouplove, Vampire Weekend, and Ben Kweller. Since graduating, I've finally been able to read for fun and my favorite book that I've read this summer has been French Exit.
