I'm going to live in Paris, France early 2020 and then travel to Montreal, Canada. I'd welcome the idea of couchsurfing all while having some time to work online. I would also like to post videos sharing about my experience as an esl and fle teacher on my YouTube channel. Buckle up! https://www.youtube.com/user/truefrixxELT

About me : I do teaching, music and motherhood. I occasionally write short stories as well and who knows maybe I'll compile a book one day? I am down to converse about virtually anything starting with psychology, movies or music all the way up to political science, anarchism and libertarianism. I am more of a listener myself but don't mind being a conversation maker at times. If you love life, people and diversity, we're sure to get along.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been carrying out an experiment of a lifetime which is to see whether I can combine work and travel. It turned out pretty good when I was travelling in Europe in early 2019. The only thing I was missing is sharing my experience with others. Besides that, I am currently trying to fulfill my dream which is moving to Canada. For my application I need to pass the language tests, one of which is French. To succeed at that I am travelling to Paris, France this November to immerse myself into the language and the culture.
