I'm a Californian who has been studying in France for the past two years.
I am newly 22 years old and still learning about who I am; that being said, I'd like to call myself open to new things!

I'm almost fluent in French, and I am very interested in picking up any words I can in any foreign language!

I am very flexible in terms of coming/going, and would love to meet someone who wants to talk about what makes their soul sing!

I am really interested in FOOD, any sort of outdoor activity, art exhibitions, strolls, water, cinema, photography, bars, cafés, bookstores and live music. Basically everything under the sun!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I think that staying with a complete stranger is half uncomfortable/half exciting. I really like the uncomfortable side to it! I love the idea of meeting anyone even if you don't have anything in common; it's always a good way to expand your interests and learn more about yourself :)

In addition, I'm young and don't have a lot of money and would much prefer to stay in someone's home than a hostel. I like the idea of having someone to talk to and show me around a new place. And besides, if you become my friend, you have a place to stay if you ever want to visit France or California!
