CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as possible during my five months in Europe!

ABOUT ME

I attend school at the University of Kentucky in the States. I'm studying abroad for a semester (January-May) in Aix-en-Provence, France, and am trying to get around Europe as much as possible! I love to travel, and am a very happy and laid-back person.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to discover new things about other places, and also about myself. My main goal in life is to make a positive impact on the world by making others happy, and as a result improve my character.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Because I am staying in a homestay during a study abroad session this spring, I do not have a couch available. However, I am very excited to meet new people and surf the couches of others!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences with couchsurfing so far have been absolutely wonderful. It is so nice to meet locals living in the area you're traveling to, and to be able to make friends through a network like CS. It really helps you to get a better feel for the city, and also reminds you that there are nice and adventurous people out there who want to help you out.

Interests

A very random list of things that interest me:

foreign languages and cultures. a good book. quality music. food, especially desserts. meeting unique people. shopping. not having to wear make-up. Disney World. snow and cold weather. the Christmas spirit. sushi.
