CURRENT MISSION

To eat fondue and snowshoe in Switzerland.

ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Katherine and I'm a student from New York, NY. I'm coming to Geneva to study abroad and intern for the Spring 2013 semester. A little about me: I studied abroad in Paris last Spring, so I'm looking to keep practicing my French. At home I like to hike and snowshoe. When I get to a new place, the two first things I do are explore the nearest grocery store and figure out the public transportation system.

PHILOSOPHY

You should never do anything just because it is required or because other people are doing it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking to meet new people in Geneva and surrounding areas - especially if you are a native French speaker! Another plus if you are a native French speaker who can cook fondue and want to snowshoe on the weekends. Also, I'm interested in learning German while I'm in Geneva.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed on one couch (in Rouen, Spring 2012). I also took a vacation to Rome where I met people through CS meetups!

Interests
