Reed F.

Toulouse, France
Hometown: Shorewood, Wisconsin.

Hello! My name is Reed Falkner. I recently graduated from Shorewood High School in Shorewood WI, just north of Milwaukee. After my CIEE program I will be attending Boston University to pursue journalism and filmmaking. I am apart of the French Language and Culture program through CIEE in Toulouse, France. Little about me, I live in a comfortable house, just across the street from lake Michigan, with my mom, step dad, four older siblings and my dog. On most summer days I enjoy running, swimming, skateboarding, hiking or just lounging around the beach. I love to travel and explore but I am also a person who needs roots. In high school I was apart of my school’s cross country, hockey and lacrosse team as well as our school newspaper and our model United Nations team. I’m very interested in photography, filmmaking and writing and super excited to be blogging for CIEE!
