I grew up in America, but I'm spending a year studying the French language and culture in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a beautiful little town just outside of Paris.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet new people and see new places.
I've been blessed by the hospitality and generosity of others and hope to bless others in the same way once I have a place of my own.

Interests

I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. I love chilling at a coffee shop and reading a good book, but I'm also a super active person. Running half-marathons is fun, playing soccer is the best. Riding bikes is my favorite way to explore a new place.
