About MeI am a 21-year-old girl from New Milford, Connecticut USA. I'm studying french and classics at La Sorbonne/MICEFA in Paris for a year. I went to school in Vermont for 3 years, and I care a lot about the environment. I'm pretty nice. More specifically, I want to travel as much as possible for a not too painful amount of money this year. My roommate and 2 other girls are hoping especially to visit Italy for our November 4-day weekend. Interested in hosting us? We can probably host you!

Amazing Things done/Seen
Lake Champlain, Rocky Mountains, Shelburne Farms, canoed Rangeley Lakes and kayaked Maine Coast, climbed Camel's Hump(VT), White Mountains, lived in Slade environmental co-op for a year (which, by the way, I can make it easy for you to visit in Burlington, VT), Sacré Coeur, Boston. Where I live in Connecticut is also beautiful, if we become friendly and you want to visit next summer.
Personal Philosophy
Pragmatic, but I believe in fate. Nourish yourself and others. Extremism usually leads to misery.
Kind of People I Enjoy
People who are spontaneous, yet reliable.

I loved quebec city too! Are you going to be in Paris around the beginning of Feb? I am thinking of buyin an interail ticket, but I land in London. Do you think it is cheaper to buy the ticket in Paris rather than London? |
