(almost) bilingual american university student studying abroad in rennes, france for the semester. out- & easy-going, creative and curious. i like getting down to details. i'm a part of a pretty musically progressive a cappella group (think from heavy metal to folkpop), i write and am a cultural editor for my university's arts & lifestyle magazine, and i work at a non-profit community thrift store. i've studied french for eight years and i study psychology and sociology in the states. my humor is silly or very sarcastic, so if you're either we should get along well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

expand my worldview and learn to see every place i visit like a local would.
