ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Haley. I'm a French and German student originally from New Jersey, USA, but I go to Bard College in upstate New York in the gorgeous Hudson Valley. I am currently taking a semester break from school to travel in Europe and improve my German. Traveling is my favorite way to spend my time, so I hope one day to make a career out of it as an ESL Teacher. As do most people on CS, I love to meet new people (especially those with whom I can practice French or German!), and I take great pleasure in learning about the lives of others. I have many interests, and I am sure you do too, and I find it much easier to discuss and get to know people in person!

PHILOSOPHY

Stay true to yourself and you'll never be lonely :)

Music, Movies, and Books

okay my favorite movie of all time is Stand by Me, but there are so many others I love. Delicatessen, Inglorious Basterds... my mind is blanking I will add more as I remember.
as for music, all I can say is that I like good music. genre doesn't matter, if I like it I'll listen. music is something to bond over, so I won't bore you with the massive list of every artist I listen to.
books? my favorite author is of course murakami, but I also enjoy nabokov, salinger, palahniuk, tom robbins

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moroccan Wedding! Absolutely gorgeous and unique

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm... I could teach basic bass, guitar. I sing better than I play but it is more fun just to sing & play together than to have a proper lessons. I also have experience teaching English and French, so of course I am always down to practice languages. I'm sure I have other skills I could list here, but we should discover mine & yours organically
