I'm working as an English language assistant in Lons-le-Saunier, France this year and looking to explore France and Europe while I'm here! Always great to have people to hang out with and show me around but I also love to explore independently!

I recently graduated with a major in Art and French and love to talk about comics, printmaking other art stuff, also philosophy, psychology, linguistics, literature, geography, social justice, religion, ice skating, etc. Just love to chat!
