Hello!
I'm a student from the US, beginning my first year of college at UPenn in the fall.
I was born in Fontainbleau, France, and moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA, when I was 5. I have lived there since, but will study in Philadelphia.

I hope to explore what is out there and expand my limited mind.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I have a carpet I can offer you to crash on. I live in university housing, which is pretty small. I am here to meet travelers who find themselves in Philly and appreciate seeing a place's daily culture.

Warning: I just moved to Philly, so my knowledge of the place as a whole is very limited.

Intereses

I enjoy playing sports. Specifically, I play soccer, I run, and I wrestle.
I love the outdoors, and go hiking and camping somewhat often.
I am unsure of what I want to study, but I enjoy philosophy and hope to learn more about the arts.

I enjoy reading--my favorite authors are Kurt Vonnegut, Umberto Eco, and Voltaire. I am currently aiming to finish The Brothers Karamazov, Blood Meridian, Le Petit Prince, and The Handmaid's Tale.

Música, películas y libros

I like classic rock, funk, some jazz, and I enjoy hip hop. Mostly American stuff, some French rap, and I'm starting to listen to Fabrizio de Andre.
I love Pink Floyd. I am also partial to Ennio Morricone.

I like American beauty, City of God, Le Professionel, Amarcord, and spaghetti westerns, many movies I've seen.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I once meditated with Buddhists in a monestary of European converts in the Swiss Alps.

For whatever reason, I decided to return to the normal world. Still deliberating if I made the right choice.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I hope to help around the house because I feel guilty if I feel like I'm not holding my keep.
I can share my experience with American culture, and I enjoy having fun, relaxing, and joking around.
I'm also interested jn having talks about the nature of the universe or whatever crosses our minds. Any brain use is good use.
