I am originally from Pennsylvania in the US, but now I live in Tours, France. I am going into my second year as a Teaching Assistant, and then I am planning to continue my education here with a Masters or Doctorate; I also had the incredible chance to study abroad here as an undergrad. I love playing sports, being outside, drinking beer, and discussing all the problems of the world (read, I will happily talk about anything if there is something to be learned).

I studied history, french, and medicine, I am helplessly curious, and generally think I am a pretty okay human being most of the time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love you travel and have not done enough of it, but I want to. I live in a tiny, one room apartment, so I cannot really host, but I would be more than happy to meet any travelers that are passing through and show you the city I now call home (Tours). Please don't hesitate to reach out!
