ABOUT ME

Hey everyone! I'm jess and I live in a little village in the north of France on the Belgian border...
I'm currently a language assistant, working with high schoolers who pretend that they want to learn english haha.
Most of my weekends are either spent out all night with friends, or sitting in a knitting a silly hat.
I of course, love to travel and experience new things. I used to live in paris, and really didn't enjoy it, but i'm glad that I had the chance to stick around in Europe and to give it a second chance.
I'll be moving to LA in April to work for a film festival. I'm quite psyched about it, but with the sweet comes the bitter, and i've realized that there's so many places i've put off visiting that I now am trying to see!

PHILOSOPHY

When in doubt, have a beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a huge apartment with a twin sized bed in the living room, and my roomates and I are more than happy to host some people. We have easy access to a Belgian train station (about €2 to get there) and are 45 minutes by bus/metro from Lille (About €1.40 each way).
We're here till May, so just hit us up!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had one or two surfers back in Paris, but they've since disappeared along with their comments :(
