CURRENT MISSION

adapt Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" to become the music of my life "Lorraine State of Mind"

ABOUT ME

I got the 'travel bug' early after a trip to Belize in high school and took advantage of all travel opportunities that I had in college. After spending a semester abroad I knew that I wanted to return to Europe
1) to improve my french language skills and
2) to travel and see as much as I can and meet new people.
So, I found the perfect job that allows me to do both!

Currently I'm spending my second year living/working in Nancy and am trying to take advantage of the generous french vacations before my contract ends in a few months!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a journey, take advantage of every opportunity for personal growth and sharing, and don't forget to have a few good laughs along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is my second year living in Nancy, France. Due to the rules/constraints of my living situation I unfortunately am unable to offer a couch. However I would be happy to meet up with anyone traveling through the area!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed once so far in Lisbon, Portugal with 2 other friends and had an absolutely amazing time. My experience really showed that you can't beat seeing a city through the eyes/tips of a local! I would love to have more couchsurfing experiences!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a month in the Costa Rican jungle working with an indigenous community pushing my body and mind to limits I never thought possible. We celebrated the completion of our work by passing around their homemade alcohol in a shelled out coconut. Then I white water rafted over a 12 foot waterfall drop before heading home. Memorable!
