CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

I'm a philosopher, dreamer, and bon vivante. I'm sweet and intelligent with a good sense of humor; I think that I have a great capacity for empathy, which is both a blessing and a curse. I have a wide variety of interests and I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. My parents are both visual artists-- so I was raised amidst canvases and cameras-- and I'm a scholar teacher/artist/still figuring it out.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem! "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." --Eleanor Roosevelt

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I've only couch surfed, but my experiences doing so have made me hope to host once I'm in my own space again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first experienced couch surfing last year while living and teaching in France, and I had nothing but amazing experiences roaming Europe with the help of couch surf. It was so wonderful to meet such a great variety of individuals and share time and space with them. I can't host at the moment, as I'm at my family's place, but I'd love to in the future.

Interests

I love teaching. I love watching obscure and mainstream films. I love art and writing (and both together, if possible). I love cooking. I love nature. I love meeting new and interesting humans!
