Hi,
I'm a language lover and teacher (HS French), who has been traveling internationally since my teens! I love to meet new and different people and to share experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and learning from them so I always try to stay in places where I can meet fellow travelers or kindred travel souls...And of course I love being able to return the favor and be a local tour guide when I'm in town!

Interests
