American teaching assistant working in Brittany and hoping to travel as much as possible! I just recently moved to France, so I'm new to Couchsurfing.

Assistante d'anglais américaine. Je travaille en Bretagne pour l'année scolaire et j'aimerais voyager autant que possible! J'ai récemment déménagé en France, alors je suis nouvelle sur Couchsurfing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make the most of my time traveling, and to meet new people. (Do people ever answer this question a different way?)Hey, we're all looking for some genuine human connection, aren't we...

I'd also love to practice French (or help you practice English) if you're interested in language exchange.

Je voudrais bien profiter de mon temps en Europe, et rencontrer de nouveaux gens. J'aimerais aussi pratiquer le français (ou vous aider à pratiquer l'anglais) si vous êtes intéressé par un échange linguistique.

Music, Movies, and Books

Where to begin! I studied classical music, so that has a special place in my heart. Otherwise, I love Van Morrison, Neko Case, Paul Simon, Sufjan Stevens, Vampire Weekend, Ella Fitzgerald, ABBA, Talking Heads, I could go on forever...
I love reading poetry, and I'll never get tired of John Hughes movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got a class of surly teenagers to get excited about a language game- my most remarkable feat in life thus far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a nerd for languages and linguistics- teach me a new word, or tell me about how you're learning a new language.
I also love to cook-can you offer any improvements on my homemade pasta sauce?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for you, regale you with travel stories, share some music, or sit back and listen to your point of view.
