I am an American college student who is currently studying French in Angers, France. Back home, I study cultural anthropology. I'm quick to laugh, talkative, compassionate and adventurous! Above all, I am enthusiastic about life and hope to meet some people with the same outlook :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn about new places and new people! I want to experience the world as thoroughly and authentically as possible!

Love a good game of chess
Talking to people and getting to know their interests and opinions

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all music, from classic American rock & roll to Latin dance music. Some long-standing favorites include Dean Martin, The Velvet Underground, Lana Del Rey, Ella Fitzgerald, Sade, The Talking Heads, The Beatles, Parliament Funkadelic, Daft Punk, etc. If I feel like I can dance to it, I like it!
I like movies but I have a short attention span so they have to be really captivating! I like Quentin Tarantino movies, documentaries, foreign films and anything that makes me laugh.
I am a voracious reader and would read almost anything/everything if I had the time. Poetry, historical fiction and biographies are always a go-to!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been skydiving—twice!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: how to bake a really good cake, English/a little French,
Learn: anything you have to offer
Share: my life, and hopefully one day my own house!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to bake and would be happy to bake you anything! I like to think I am mildly funny and will (hopefully) make you laugh. I could teach you a little bit of yoga, help practice English and/or compliment you endlessly. I also know how to juggle.
