Hello World!

I'm a 20 year old college student from Pittsburgh, PA, USA. I attend Elmira College in Elmira, New York, USA where I major in Political Science and International Studies. I have concentrations in World Politics and European studies as well as minors in Anthropology and French. I'm a duel citizen of Canada and the United States, and I've done my fair share of traveling. I am studying in Strasbourg this term, and I want to see as much of Europe as possible! I love making new connections, diving into new cultures, and sharing my own culture and heritage. I come from a wonderfully large Canadian family, and I can't wait to see where life takes me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here as an International Studies and Political Science major from the United States trying to make my way through Europe for the term. I love learning about foreign cultures and meeting new people! I'll be studying at Science Po Strasbourg for the term, and I would love to see as much of Europe as possible (for as cheap as possible).

P.S. I love cooking and would be more than happy to do so!
