CURRENT MISSION

Learn about other cultures; meet new people; make new friends; learn more French and about the French way of life (and all of its differences from the North to the South); teach others about myself and my culture; experience life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

I love traveling and meeting new people. I have a special passion for France. I've always been drawn to it since high school, which is why I decided to learn French. I want to explore as much of it as possible, which is why I jumped on the opportunity to work in France for seven months. I'm really looking forward to this chance to meet lots of other cool people through Couch Surfing.

Update February 2017: I'm back on Couchsurfing for the first time since living in France in 2012. I'm excited to travel more in the United States.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
