CURRENT MISSION

To never stop smiling

ABOUT ME

I smile and laugh, A LOT. This pretty much sums it up. And I talk a lot, but I promise I have interesting things to say (for the most part).

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a whole lot more enjoyable if you learn to smile and laugh freely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only started couch surfing since I have lived in France and only done it with two different people. But the people I have met have been AMAZING.

Interests

A little bit of everything...seriously.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazhing thing I have done is what I am doing right now. I picked up and moved to France to live in a small French town where I really have created a life for myself. I have some of the most amazing (French) friends I could have ever asked for. In the beginning it was scary and there were days when I wanted to pack up and go back to the states, but now that I have broken down all of my barriers and I am not sure that I want to go home.

I think a close second is what I am about to do: move to South Louisiana to teach middle school sciences in one of the poorest and most underperforming schools in the coutry.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to know about integrating into southern French life in a small town, I'm your gal. Also about the inner workings of state government. And I want to learn everything.
