I am a recent university graduate from the United States and I am currently living in the Burgundy region of France where I teach English. I was bit by the travel bug a few years ago when I first came to France. This is my 3rd time in Europe and I want to see and experience as much as I can while I'm here. I am truly fascinated by all of the different cultures in Europe and by all of the history here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see and experience as much of Europe as possible while I am in Europe; unfortunately the salary of a part-time teaching assistant is not enough to pay for all of the travel and experiences I wish to have. Plus couch surfing is a great way to meet new and fascinating people from around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studying abroad during university. I lived in Lyon, France for 6 months. During this time my eyes were opened to the world around me and I grew a lot as a person; I became more independent and more confident with travel and being on my own.
