Hello! Bonjour ! I'm new to couchsurfing, but have already had two very positive experiences in Lyon and Annecy. A little bit about myself... I am an American studying environmental engineering/geosciences in Strasbourg, France (Master 1). I enjoy traveling and meeting new people, and especially love meeting locals in the places where I travel! I speak English and French fluently (je parle couramment anglais et français) :) There’s definitely stuff I’m leaving out, so if you have any specific questions about myself, don't hesitate to ask me! I'm very open.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting locals where I travel - I feel that it makes any old trip a million times more special when you know something about the way that people live in the region and traditions unique to the area that would otherwise go unnoticed without a local pointing things out! I love learning about other cultures, and also enjoy talking about my own experiences traveling to different cultures.
