Hello! I have just completed university and am staying with my aunt for a couple of months for a "gap semester" of sorts. I am looking to meet friendly folks that will help me fall in love with Narbonne and are potentially interested in exploring other places as well. I love to sit and talk over tea, go for long walks, attend local events, museums, concerts but because of my lack of French skills, I am apprehensive to go out on my own (at least in the beginning). If someone wants to practice their English and help me with French that would be a dream come TRUE! I am excited to be here and excited to meet fabulous new friends. Sincerely yours, Meg.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't want to be the ignorant American who tries to navigate a new place despite knowing nothing about it. I want to learn enough with support before going out on my own. Also, friends, I want to make friends and meet interesting new people <3

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to pretty much all types of music, and am always interested in experiencing new things. I love to read fiction and nonfiction alike - I have quite a long list of books to read and have no idea how to find books in English around here... yikes! I am SUPER excited for the new Marvel movie Black Panther but largely love action, drama, thriller, and adventure movies - oh! And tear-jerkers. I love those, haha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

.... I graduated early from university, so that's pretty cool. I also have done a lot of work with design thinking, human-centered design, education reform, co-op living, survivorhood support, human rights, and generally improving the ways our society and world treat all of its inhabitants.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to have deep conversations, tell stories, ask questions, and listen. My friends tell me that I'm pretty good at all that. I also love to take pictures and am hoping to improve my skills with my nice camera. I love trying new things. I am a quick learner. And some people think I'm pretty funny... don't know about that one, but we'll see.
