I'm an American currently studying in France. I'm looking to make the most of my time here and travel as much as I can! I'm from Massachusetts but go to school at the University of Pittsburgh. I study neuroscience and French in the US. I love art and culture and everything that comes with it. I'm pretty well organized and respect others stuff/space. I can go with the flow or make plans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to meet new people and experience countries, and not just from a touristy point of view. I had a lot of exchange students stay with my family in high school and I liked having someone new staying with us. With previous travels, I've been with my family, so I'm looking for a more independent and in-depth experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most types of music, my favorites at the moment are probably Of Monsters and Men, X Ambassadors, Bastille, Adele, and Imagine Dragons

Movies: The Departed, Inception, Shawshank Redemption, Castaway

Books: favorite is definitely Catch 22, but love Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Kurt Vonnegut's work

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Bungee jumping at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe at Victoria Falls. Scary but awesome experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm gluten-free so I'd love to learn recipes without wheat if anyone knows some or just cooking in general

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a lot about different places- I've been to four continents (trying to make it six by the time I'm 25), so I've got lots of pictures and funny stories about my family and friends! We can also talk about science stuff too. I'd love to help with speaking English or practicing French.
