CURRENT MISSION
To meet French speakers (France/Switzerland/Belgium) in New York city.

ABOUT ME

I get an adrenaline rush out of experiencing new places, people, languages and histories.

I enjoy salsa dancing, settling down with a good book, hiking and doing anything outdoors.

Most of all, I like to learn, specifically French right now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with Marion in Seoul and had a great time dancing salsa most of the night.

I met two CSers in Paris for coffee and had a great time exchanging stories and seeing new parts of the city, including the best falafel place in the city.

I surfed through the south of France, hoping to talk to as many cool French people as possible and learn more French.

I haven't hosted yet, but I will as soon as I have my own place.
