I am American but currently living and working in Lyon, France, as an English teacher (lectrice à la fac). I finished university (Rice University in Houston, Texas) in May 2016, where I studied psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, and French. I was born and raised in Chicago, but very happy to be living in France now!

Some hobbies:
-I love traveling and seeing new places, learning about new cultures
-I am a huge foodie and I love to cook!
-I like being outdoors -- running, hiking, going to the beach, sports

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I absolutely adore traveling, and I love meeting new people in new places. I've stayed with couchsurfing hosts a few times in France, as well as using hangouts in Spain, and I've always had an amazing time! I think it is a fantastic way to meet people from all over the world, and to get a new perspective while traveling.
