Taking time off from school in the United States to live in Europe, learn French and travel!

Working as an Au Pair for a French family just outside of Paris--love kids, but thank god I don't have any of my own yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living abroad makes me want to make as many friends with as many far removed people as I can. I usually don't like quoting people, but I do like this one:

"I am a part of everyone I have met."
-Alfred, Lord Tennyson in Ulysses

We all share the world, just trying to get to know some of my cool neighbors!
