I recently graduated from the University of Oregon with a major in Journalism and a minor in French. I’m WWOOFing in France this summer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to save money while on my Europe travels and meet interesting people! I also love getting a local’s view on a city and perhaps a tour of each host’s favorite places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked as a political reporter in Accra, the capital of Ghana for a summer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the French I have been studying and a wide knowledge of history and literature. Of course I can also teach my native English. I would love to share my love of poetry (perhaps a poetry reading) and a meal/drink with hosts!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a fun, easy-going person. I am socially flexible - I love to meet and chat with new people but can be quiet/out of the way if necessary. Or, I’m always up for exploring a new city and town with locals!
