I'm a language enthusiast! I like to speak in a language other than English whenever possible. I also play the accordion well enough to entertain myself and others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in Grenoble taking a French class at la CUEF. I made arrangements before coming to stay at a friend of an aunt's, but it turns out they have a cat. I am allergic to cats. :(

Music, Movies, and Books

Classic Rock, Alternative music.
I used to love fantasy novels as a young adult but now I'm more into realistic fiction.
I like to watch realistic movies or comedies. I don't like horror and action films aren't my first pick.

I ate a jalapeno pepper in front of my entire high school student body as part of an election.
