Traveler Bio

Hi, my name is Temitope, but you can call me Temi! I go to the University of Rhode Island, where I study biomedical engineering, French, and math. Now, I study at the University of Technology, Compiègne, which is an hour away from Paris. Growing up, I loved everything about Paris and was so excited to be able to live in this beautiful country. Compiegne is the city where I live, and it's a lovely place to visit. It's next to one of the largest forests in France. At the University of Technology, Compiègne, I take classes in biomedical engineering and French. 

I enjoy learning about the world, so I wanted the chance to visit new places outside of America. I'm going to live in France for one year, so I'm very excited to visit cities all over Europe like London, Barcelona, and Dublin just to name a few. Besides traveling, I love karaoke! I can sing my heart out to my favorite songs for hours! I also love to read romance, action, and mystery novels. I love to watch movies, especially comedies. I am always looking to meet new people, so I can't wait to meet you on my journey in Compiègne, France!
