I’m a Northern California Native currently living in Paris. I work as an English teacher and try to travel as much as possible while I can. I am very new to Couchsurfing but I am eager to make new friends and have unique experiences!
At the moment I’m particularly eager to explore more of France :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in Couchsurfing because I feel like it offers an advantage that hotels and hostels do not: the ability to live like, and learn from a local. I'm interested in having making new connections from people I wouldn't have met otherwise and learning all the ins and outs of wherever they call home.
