I'm an American student studying French as a foreign language for the year in a small town just outside of Geneva. I've completed two years of university studying journalism, public relations, and graphic design. I love being active, outdoors, traveling, or exploring museums.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I don't have a lot of money and still want to be able to experience a wide variety of cultures while I have the opportunity to be abroad. In addition, I would love to be better at making connections and learning about people who I meet.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like indie, pop and hip-hop music. Some of my favorite movies are The King's Speech, Les Intouchables, The Thousand Foot Journey, Ratatouille, and La La Land. I loved reading books as a kid but honestly I haven't read any novels or longer books recently. Mostly I use the time I have to read the news or magazine articles online. But I would love suggestions for great reads to get back into the habit!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been scuba diving since I was 15 years old and I've been backpacking in the Grand Tetons. This year my biggest adventure has been studying in France for 7 months and getting to travel in my free time!
