Currently living in the Paris area for about one year, determined to learn French! J'habite à Paris pour une année, et je veux apprendre bien le Français!

ABOUT ME

I love being in the outdoors, backpacking and hiking. Love reading, music, languages, and spending time with those close to me. Somewhat of an introvert, but enjoy meeting new people and spending time with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Be Present, Be Kind.
