About Me

CURRENT MISSION

YES MAN! (movie reference)

ABOUT ME

Hey guys. I just started couch surfing and am looking to fully emerge myself. Please give me a chance I want to build my profile and be a part of the community! Thanks

If I had to choose a word to describe myself it would be spontaneous. Call me at anytime and I'll throw some shoes on to go. I was born in France and moved to the US where I have lived most of my life. I believe that having moved at such a young age has given me the hunger for adventure. I want to explore people and places and I'm hoping I can do that through here :)
I enjoy doing an array of things. Backpacking, surfing, skiing, kayaking and fishing. I also like driving and exploring places I've never been. Sometimes I go out to the hillside and drive roads that are rarely used where I find peace and happiness from exploring places right next to my house. I'm still a student and enjoy going out late at night or staying in and sleeping. I guess I just enjoy everything.

PHILOSOPHY

I will leave you with this:

"I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stunned by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, "Hi."
They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word." - Augusten Burroughs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just began using CS. Offering my place in St. Julien en Borne France.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Attended event in MV. Messaging people through here and seeing how this works.

Interests

I love the outdoors. Backpacking, fly fishing kayaking and camping. I also love the city, from the large buildings to the small hole in the wall businesses. I'm extremely diverse and consider myself open minded.
I'm a gear-head. I would have traveled the world if I hadn't spent so much on my car obsession.

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE MUSIC
Mostly Trance and Deep House but have an appreciation for everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many stories to tell but something I won't forget is catching a Golden Trout after backpacking through a storm. The California Golden Trout is a fly fishermen's dream catch. And I have fulfilled that dream.
