I am a 20-year-old female who will very soon have her first chance to leave the country and see the world. I am a Francophile. I love God, solving problems, and going on adventures. If I don't know where an adventure may be found, I create one. My siblings are my best friends. I love kids. I love to debate people I completely disagree with and then go eat dinner with them and talk about our favorite movies and become best friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a very long traveling bucket list and a very small pocketbook. I refuse to take out any loans and will only do what I can afford. Admittedly, I am an introvert so meeting lots of new people can be overwhelming for me, but traveling is not the time for being a hermit - meeting people from other cultures is pretty much the entire point!

I will be exiting my home country for the first time June 2016, and I will not be returning until December 2016.

I would love to host people, but my current living situation makes that impossible.

Interests

I tutor chemistry and I'm a political activist. I'm fiercely patriotic, and I am in love with French history and the French language.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love food and cooking, so I'd love to learn anything food-related specific to your country/region, and I can also share my own favorite recipes.

I would love to learn some of your language and practice it with you. I can speak English in return if you want practice with that.

I will eagerly hear anything you know about local history!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Friendliness, endless gratitude, lots of questions, requests to be taught a little of your language, offers to cook simple American-style dinners/deserts, offers to clean, stories about family life.
