About Me

From New York, I'm a recent graduate from a Masters program in International Development, looking for a job in France. I'm often shy at first, but don't let that fool you! I'm very open to new ideas/cultures/experiences and this is what makes life interesting for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If I have learned one thing from travelling, it's that there is always, always someone willing to help or show kindness, and that you can never really be alone, even in an unfamiliar place. Over and over again I have been surprised by the amount of love I have been shown by total strangers, to the point where I am no longer convinced that I have just been "lucky" to stumble upon such wonderful people.

Interests

Travelling, art museums, film festivals,
hiking, rock climbing, swimming, tennis,
