I love to travel, and the best part of traveling is meeting new people. I am American, but I have lived in France for 2 years, and really enjoy learning about new cultures. I am currently studying at a French business school, and really enjoy reading, writing and hiking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
I love the classics for sure. I will still always love Jane Austen, Fitzgerald, and Tolkien. I love Vanity Fair, A Movable Feast, The Kite Runner, the Book Thief, The Count of Monte Cristo and so many more. I am also trying to read more French literature, so I am currently accepting requests.

Movies:
I don't watch a ton of movies, but I appreciate good cinema. I really love friends and Parks and Rec, so I guess I watch more series than films.

Music:
Jack Garratt, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Classical. Actually, most things...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the trails in the Pacific Northwest: No matter where I go in the world, nothing compares to the beauty of those trails, mountains and forests
