Hello! I love to travel and am currently studying in Sciences Po. I am studying politics, French, and economics, and I love to meet people from all over the world. I also love to cook, run, ski, play the saxophone, be with great company, write poetry, and read interesting books. I get energy from being around people and also being in silent nature. I am looking forward to meeting you all!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a student of culture and relations; a student of the world. I love to hear peoples stories, because my whole life I have been telling mine: growing up as a foreigner in a small town in the Midwest. Learning from each other is the most powerful thing we can do, because there is no substitute. I am looking forward to travelling across Europe for the two years that I'm here and would love to see unconventional places and meet interesting, kind, empathetic people.
