Hello all! I am a life long learner who truly enjoys discovering. This is why I consider travelling to be one of my most passionate hobbies. I am currently still in school studying Biology, Geology and French and so travelling has been a bit financially difficult recently. However, this fall I have been living and studying in Grenoble, France which I have come to know as a second home. In fact, it is actually quite similar geographically to the city I grew up in, Chattanooga. Though the mountains of Grenoble are by far more immense than the one in Chattanooga, they surround the city in a similar fashion and allow for some absolutely breathtaking views. Which leads me to the first thing I usually do in a new place: FIND THE HIGHEST VIEW. I love the feeling of looking out and on to the world, knowing how small I am in comparison to this Earth and how simply incredible all of it is. It is the most beautiful art there will ever be. I hope with my degrees in Biology and Geology I can not only help preserve our beautiful plant, but help it flourish. On it's own it has created wonders, and I want to insure it can continue doing this. I look forwarding to travelling more, seeing more views, meeting more people and continuing to learn the differences and similarities that our own cultures and identities create. Bon courage in life my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people, especially of different cultures and finding out the coolest spots of a city that only a local would know.

Interests

1. Music: I work at the NPR station in my city and have had my own radio show for 3 years now and I absolutely love going to see live music.
2. Travelling to see new things, experience new cultures and meet new people; i love having long conversations with new people and getting to the bottom of cultural habits.
3. I love planting and cultivating plants and raising animals.
4. Hiking, swimming, skiing, and many other outdoor sports are my favorite type of fun.
5. In the quiet moments I enjoy writing and reading, particularly poetry.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you want, I can show you how to fix all the jewelry in the world: free of charge, haha.

But seriously: I can share with you who I am, what I believe it is like to be an american or maybe just to be me, and maybe together we can find even more things that are not just me or just you but are our culture.
