About Me

Hi! I'm an 19 year old student from Raleigh, NC. I attend the University of Kentucky. I am currently studying abroad in Caen, a small city in the Normandy region of France. This is my first time out of the United States, and I am very excited to travel in Europe, meet new people, and improve my French and German speaking skills!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't traveled much before - I've only been along the east coast in the United States. I flew on a plane for the first time in November of 2015. I hope that couch surfing will give me a means to experience new cultures! Since living in France for the past two months, I have seen Prague and London. Traveling is an amazing aspect to life that I have been missing!
