An American studying in Paris who decided to stay longer and ended up without a place to live! Just made an account for this trip. I'm originally from Michigan--very close to Detroit! Finishing up my last year of college in the states. I understand French and can speak enough to communicate basically. Eager to learn more

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was originally here in Paris doing a photojournalism class with David Turnley. The city and its people and the constant energy made me want to stay and take more photographs before I went back. I could stay here indefinitely. I extended my trip two weeks thinking I'd have a place to stay but all my backups fell through. Desperately in need of a good home to crash in!!!

Interests

• culture
• socializing

Music, Movies, and Books

HUGE LOVER OF CINEMA! French new wave is at the top of my list. Love the classics, and the new.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love people more than anything. Sharing stories and experiences and learning about French culture is a dream to me. As a photographer I see Paris in a way that most tourists don't. I see Paris in moments and in snapshots as a landscape of human emotion. The people of Paris are really the attraction to me. I can share my experiences and my photos and of course make beautiful images of whoever I end up staying with. It sounds cheesy but it's true--you can't go wrong in Paris, especially as a photographer.

I will be out of the house probably most of the day and many nights photographing. I've been in Paris about 7 weeks already and have seen all the "classic" Parisian landmarks so you don't have to worry about showing me around :) very low maintenance guest. I love meeting people and going out at night, am comfortable around anyone, quiet, neat, can tell jokes, and I'm small so I don't take up too much room!!!!!
