CURRENT MISSION

Stopping/smelling roses

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26 year old educator who just quit my job and moved from New Orleans to Paris so that I may travel around Europe and spend more time savoring my life than working myself to the bone. This is my year of enjoying simple pleasures, so that I can make it a habit. I love the art of conversation and people who can spend all night chatting, if the opportunity arises. I spent my childhood in England, adolescence in New Jersey, college years in New York, and adulthood so far in New Orleans, and now Paris. I hope to visit every continent before I die so that I may see all the different sorts of nature and cultures our planet has to offer us.

When I'm traveling you can find me chatting, drinking, eating, smoking, and exploring and trying desperately to find treasures off the beaten path.

PHILOSOPHY

Be bold and the mighty forces will come to your aid.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing lets us share our perspective of our countries/cities with each other... this is why I'm on it, to find genuine people when I travel and genuine experiences.

Interests

other things i love: very long drives, appreciating nature, a good & cheap bottle of red wine, science, curling up with a book, beaches with clear beautiful water, star gazing, making the perfect sandwich, going out for good beers with good people, but most of all... good conversation.
