I am a recently returned, US Peace Corps Paraguay volunteer. While in the Peace Corps I worked as an Agriculture Extentionist; maintaining a garden, introducing Permaculture and sustainable agriculture practices in schools, and teaching English and art classes. I am based in Maine, USA, spending summers there, and winters working remotely as an English Teacher (so I am able to travel).

Currently, I am spending the winter (Oct.-April) in France! As an English Teaching Assistant through TAPIF. I am teaching in a small school in Normandy, and eager to continue practicing my French and explore the area :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have used couchsurfing before and found it a great resource when visiting a new place- a great way to gain a local's perspective on an area!
