CURRENT MISSION

finding myself and finding the world.

ABOUT ME

hi. i'm tess. i'm 20, and i'm currently living in grenoble, france- which has been such a wonderful experience. i've learned more about myself in these past few months than i would have ever expected. it's funny how when you take a leap of faith- things just always seem to work out for the best. things have fallen into place so easily and my life plan has become so clear- i have to believe that things like this happen for a reason. you will constantly learn lessons from the decisions you make and the risks you take. i hope to continue learning, exploring, and seeing the world- in hopes of continuing to find myself.

PHILOSOPHY

finish each day and be done with it. you have done all you could. -ralph waldo emerson

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i think this is such a rad idea. i don't have a couch currently, but i am staying with a french family who has been kind enough to open up their home to me- and i hope in the future, when i'm a little more settled, i can take in those who wish to explore and see the world!

音乐、电影和书籍

i love music. i myself am a musician, and play piano

我做过的一件不可思议的事情
