ABOUT ME

Hello, Hola, Salut, Salam! My name is Victoria and i am a Californian student studying at UC Irvine, with a year abroad (currently) in Lyon, France!I absolutely love it here and love discovering new things all the time. I study international relations and anthropology. I play the tenor saxophone, and i loveeee listening to jazz! :) On my free time I like to wander, sleep, meditate, run, eat, read, play, watch, listen and mostly anything that everyone else likes to do! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Optimism. Mind over Matter. Don't do unto others what you don't want done to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I can only offer to meet up for a drink and show you around Lyon. I am currently living with a host stay family so I can't offer! However starting September I will have my own place! So then i will be more than happy to open my couch for someone! :) Until then!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Positive always! :D I think it's so awesome that this website exists! It shows the openness of people and is a great way to meet people and share and learn experiences!

Interests

Well, as I said before I love music, and i love animals! I am a vegetarian, and I love cooking and discovering new ways to make vegetarian food! I like to paint but i'm not that awesome, it's just a hobby :) And I love learning new things about almost everything.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pans Labyrinth, Lots of Pixar and Dreamworks animated films, The Millenium trilogy, Dan Brown, 1984, and I love all types of music really :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favorite class has been Introduction to Cosmology. Learning about the universe and its potential, and how it came to be never ceases to amaze me. We are all creatures of earth, we should treat each other how we treat our family and friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think that everyone has a story to tell, a lesson to teach and what not, it's up to you, if you are willing to hear them out or not, make a friend or not, live life or not.
