Hey, I'm an English teacher near Paris. I lived 2 years in London before. I love travelling, especially to the US.
I'm pretty sociable and outgoing. I love dancing as much as I enjoy board games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Okay, well this is gonna be my first experience.
I've dreamt of going to NOLA ever since I've started watching TREME.
I love brass, jazz, colors and dancing and as I'm a teacher, I can't decide when my holidays will be. But 2015 allows me to go see the last days before Mardi Gras so I don't wanna miss it.

Interests

I've studied English and American litterature and history so I'm pretty interested by that kind of stuff. I love discussing grammar and linguistics.
I'm into cinema as well and US TV series.
