I am a college graduate currently living and working as an Au Pair in the suburbs of Paris, Prissy. I look after 5 year old twins (boy and a girl) I have a huge desire to travel around Europe while I'm staying in France and hope to meet many new people and learn local cultures.

I am an active and outgoing morning person. Love the outdoors and exploring new areas and learning about new cultures.

Unfortunately since I live with a host family I cannot host couchsurfers, but when I am back in the USA (or have my own place in Europe) I would love to open my doors and host people, especially those kind enough to host me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I visit a new city I want to be with someone who really knows it from a local perspective. I want to meet local people and get to know the country by meeting the people. I don't want to stay by myself in a lonely hotel room, I want to meet new people, learn new things, and make new friends.

I am proud of my extensive work with people who have intellectual or developmental disabilities.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share recipes, some sign language, good books, and information about intellectual and developmental disabilities.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a good baker and cook, and don't mind helping cleaning up after a meal. I will absolutely go to museums or local interests discussing anything art related. Also a lively and positive attitude.
