I just signed up and am happy to join this community! I am expat who has lived in Paris, France for a couple years and am looking forward to opening my home when I am in town.

I consider myself a lifelong-learner who's ever-evolving. As a host and as a guest you'll most likely find me to to be friendly, positive and easy-going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the concept ~ I'm a nomad at heart and enjoy meeting interesting people. I'm looking forward to hosting those with a spirit for exploration.
