About Me

Hello! I'm a student from America, currently involved in a year of study in France.
I study Biomedical Engineering and French, with a taste for traveling. I am currently living and working in Strasbourg and eventually I will return to the States to finish my studies. Hopefully Europe will make a return in my life afterwards. If you're ever in the states (specifically the North East) let me know!

Whenever I can, I wish to make the most of my experience abroad by traveling and experiencing new cultures and unforgettable moments. Thanks in advance for your hospitality. Or thanks for coming to hang out with me! I'm always excited to meet people from all over the world.

Bonjour! Je suis étudiant qui viens d'Etats-Unis. Je fais un an d'étude en France.
J'adore voyager et trouver les nouveaux cultures et des experiences inoubliable.
Je cherche profiter très bien de cette experience étrangère. Merci pour votre hospitalité ou pour votre séjour avec nous!

PLEASE NOTE: myself and my coloc live together but we also work separately during the day. We typically work 5 days a week from about 9AM-5PM (sometimes as late as 6-7PM)

It would be better for you to come on a weekend that I am available so I can hang out with you / show you around! However a post-Work beverage is always a plus too.

And if you have a sleeping bag or an air mattress, this is appreciated too! We have a whole spare room dedicated to couch surfers so there is floor space.

Cheers! Happy surfing!

ASPIRATIONS:

To travel to Morocco and see the Saharan Desert!
Hike Mont Blanc or any part of Les Alpes.
Just to name a few... But I'll always have more!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly to travel and experience new cultures and meet locals in the places I've always wanted to travel to.

I've come to learn how amazing it is to live in another culture. With locals, with other international students, with anyone that's different from me. Being an American, where we primarily speak english, makes me sad because there are so many more beautiful cultures and languages out there to experience!

I hope to travel for as long as I can, whenever I can. So thank you, to my future couchsurfing host/traveler, you're helping to make dreams come true.
