About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much as I can

ABOUT ME

I'm a student in New Orleans, originally from St. Louis, now living in Paris until the end of the year. At Tulane University, I am a Legal Studies Major, Marketing and English minors. I love traveling and meeting interesting people (among many, many other things).

I never really know what to say in these things. I love walking around new places, taking pictures and trying new things, you only live once, right? I love listening to people's stories hearing about their lives and learning anything I can along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever works.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I guess I'm just testing the waters in the CS Project right now. I haven't had the pleasure of hosting or visiting anyone yet. As of right now, I won't be able to host because of my living situation but when I return to New Orleans, I hope to change that. I am, however, more than happy to give advice to or even meet for coffee or drinks with any travelers to Paris!

PLEASE NOTE:
If you do not have pictures, references or verification, please don't message me in hopes of meeting for a drink, or anything else. I'm sorry, but I can't accept such requests at this time. Thank you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just joined so I haven't had any "official" encounters by, my closest CouchSurfing experience happened just a few weeks ago. When I visited Rome, I met a couple of backpackers and spent the day with them. They were coming to Paris a few weeks later and I let them stay with me. It was great; they got a free place to stay and I had the perfect excuse to do some touristy stuff instead of homework!

Music, Movies, and Books

I can find a song in any genre that I enjoy.

Tough choice but favorite book has to be "Love in the Time of Cholera" but I'm also a big Virginia Woolf fan and I love reading biographies.

I love most movies. The most recent that I've taken a particular liking to is "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". I love the experience of going to the theater and in the states, I usually go at least once a week.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in high school, I taught gymnastics to children and one year, at the end of the session, I had a mother write be the most wonderful and inspiring note in which she thanked me for being so good to (and for) her daughter. She told me that I was a great role model, the kind that all mothers hope to find for their daughters. It made all the long hours, hard work and frustration of the job more than worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not really sure that I have anything specific that I'm dying to share or find, really I'd like to learn anything that people are willing to teach me and I'd like to share anything about myself that I can. I like helping people and I think that interacting with others is the best way to learn about yourself and the world around you.
