CURRENT MISSION

We have so much to experience on this planet and only so much time, so seize it!

ABOUT ME

I just spent the summer (2012) in Grenoble, France working as a research intern at Minatec studying Materials Science & Engineering in between traveling to Geneva, Marseilles, Lyon, Cassis, The Calanques, Paris, and more. I have learned a lot about myself and my studies this summer, but I have also met a lot of interesting people along the way! So, I want to continue meeting dynamic people and learning interesting things like rock climbing through CouchSurfing!

PHILOSOPHY

I feel that one of the fastest ways to expand ourselves is to spend time with other people who have perspectives different than ours. I have learned so much from others, and I would say that the people I learn the most from are the people I differ from the most! It's a great way to form friendships.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I have been active in Grenoble's Rock Climbing CouchSurfing group. This has been a great experience, as I've gone on trips to climbing sites in both the Grenoble area and the Marseilles/Cassis area with them. What a great way to spend a summer!

Centres d'intérêt

I love science, playing guitar, discussing philosophy and some politics, and experiencing beautiful cities and all they have to offer! I've recently been trying to improve my French and Spanish as I'm here in Europe.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Climbing The Calanques in the south of France.

My walk home from work every day: I currently live in Grenoble, France, and I'm surrounded by the French Alps. Every day I walk home and stand in awe of them.
