I'm currently working as an au pair in Paris. In my real life back in the US, I'm a student at Northeastern University in Boston, MA studying public health and political science. I grew up in Orlando, FL (about 20 minutes away from Disney World!). I love politics, comedy, and learning about health issues around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll be living in Paris January-June 2015, and I'm hoping to travel around Europe while I'm there. I want to be able to get the most out of the weekend trips I can take, and part of that is meeting people in the cities I visit!
