Im an American currently living in Calais, France, teaching English. I grew up in a small town, but I have spent the past 6 years in NYC (before moving to France). I love to travel, and to meet new people. I currently live in a dorm, so I unfortunately can't accept surfers, but I will hopefully start when I'm back stateside! Other things...I love music and reading, and I love to be outside and explore--though I prefer local bars or hikes to the 'go-to tourist attractions.' Im a musician; I played drums for awhile in a band in NYC, but now I'm focusing on my own songs. I love to read, and I love to talk books. And I love to eat! Lol. I know everyone does, but but I reaaaly do :D
