ABOUT ME

I'm a third year college student studying French Literature and Political Science at Boston University. I just finished a year in Grenoble, and now I'm working this summer in Roanne, a small town in the Loire. I'm living with a family here so I can't host, but I'd love to grab a coffee or drink and explore the city a little.

PHILOSOPHY

‹‹La vérité existe au-delà des montagnes. Pour la connaître, il faut voyager.›› (Proverbe sérère) In English: "The truth exists over the mountains. To find it, one must travel." (Serer proverb)
