I am an American exchange student studying in Cheltenham, England for the term. I am trying to take in as much of Europe as possible while I am here. 3 months isn't long enough!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love seeing all the big iconic sights as I travel, but having the personal touch of a local makes the experience more authentic. I love seeing these big, beautiful cities from the view of a native. It adds such a richness to the visits!

Interests

I love film and media, and traveling in this season of life has given me a new appreciation for the beauty of cities and nature.
I am also interested in philosophy and concepts of the mind and reality.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like most genres, but specifically indie folk/rock. I am a big fan of Mumford&Sons, Coldplay, Of Monsters and Men, City and Colour, Manchester Orchestra, Ben Howard, and Regina Spektor.

Movies/TV: I Love The Office (American version), Law & Order SVU, Friends, HIMYM, and Parenthood. I love the Harry Potter movies, Superstar,

I am currently reading things by C S Lewis, but like most books that deal with topics on different levels. Major themes handled in simple story-telling terms.
