ABOUT ME

Originally from Chicago, currently living in France. Teaching English in different schools around Rennes.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel and make friends. Live while you're young so you're wise later on. Treat others as you wish to be treated. Love everything and everyone, as much as you can.

"If the whole complex lives of many people go on unconsciously, then such lives are as if they had never been. And so life is reckoned as nothing. Art exists that one may recover the sensation of life; it exists to make one feel things... the purpose of art is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known. Art is a way of experiencing the artfulness of an object; the object is not important."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Music, art, friends, nightlife, travel, meeting new people. I'm young, wild and free! But not too wild and free. I love horseback riding, Fighting Irish football, French coffee, dancing all night, photography, Joss Whedon, exploring and learning new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Celebrated the end of the world (Dec 21) at the Dernier bar avant la fin du monde in Paris with a bunch of fellow geeks.

Teach, Learn, Share

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious."
-Albert Einstein

I can share: my knowledge of American culture (and geek culture, Joss Whedon in particular), flute or piano playing, French language... honestly I'll be the best new friend I can be, and if you ever find yourself in my town, you'll have a place to stay.
