CURRENT MISSION

I'm currently trying to be open to new experiences. Trying new things going to new places! I've never couch surfed before, so just doing this will get me started on my mission!

ABOUT ME

I'm an American currently living in France. I enjoy traveling and wish I could be a tourist for the rest of my life!

PHILOSOPHY

Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.
~Carol Burnett

I'm on the lifelong journey of trying to become the person I want to be and this quote by Carol Burnett helps me keep pushing myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love movies, tv shows, music and books. There are way too many to name, but I'll name a few.

I love action films, like Die Hard and the Bourne Trilogy, but my all-time favorite film is While You Were Sleeping because I'm a hopeless romantic.

I watch way too much tv, but some of my favorites are Community, Fringe, Dexter, Leverage, White Collar and Sons of Anarchy. That's really just the tip of the iceberg.

Florence + the Machine, Adele, Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Kelly Clarkson, Al Green, Fleetwood Mac.... the list is never-ending!

I'm a big Harry Potter fan!
I've read a lot of chick lit lately and need to get back to "literature." :)
I enjoy mystery novels and am just starting Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studying abroad in France was one of the best experiences of my life. I met some lifelong friends and it made me more curious about the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been studying french for a really long time!
I'm currently teaching english at a french high school. It's the first time I've actually taught and I'm discovering how challenging it can be!

I want to learn another language, but I can't decide which one. Maybe Spanish or Italian.
