I am a 22 year old college student in my final year of college. I'm majoring in English literature a well as french language, and I am in France for the summer to attend classes and improve my language skills. I am serious about school, but I love having drinks with friends as well. Food is my favorite thing in the world aside from my mother, and the ocean comes in as a close third. I am VERY tidy, as cleaning is actually how I relax. I usually leave places cleaner than I found them.
I can understand french, but my speaking is still pretty broken. I can make myself understood though.
If there's anything else you'd like to know, I'd be happy to let you know!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in France for the summer, but I have a four day break, so I thought I'd head to the beaches. However, as I am a poor college student, I thought couch surfing would be better than getting a hotel for four nights. Also, I love the idea of meeting new people. After all, I am here to learn french, and what better way to do that than this?

Interests

I love the ocean. Books have been my best friends since I was five. Wine and cheese, obviously. Dogs, 40s music, and dresses are some things I couldn't live without. Oh, and high heeled wedges.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: L'Auberge Espagnole, Coco before Chanel, Dirty Dancing, any Disney movie, any anime movie like from Studio Ghibli.

Music: the band Rush and the band The Shins. oh, and the band Sigur

Books: any Russian literature, especially Dostoevsky (even though I've only read Crime and Punishment, I know I'm going to love The Idiot). I love Pride and Prejudice, but I really don't like Jane Austen's other novels. Harry Potter and His Dark Materials trilogies are a must. and my favorite poet is E.E. Cummings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam in the freezing water at Etretat and rode gigantic waves.
