I just graduated college (major in psychology, minor in social welfare) and am taking a break before graduate school - I'll be headed to Scotland in the Fall for a program in Sex, Gender, and Violence. I've worked/interned for a wedding planner, a diner, a call center, a university, and now a women-focused nonprofit. I love coffee and good conversations, preferably combined.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Planning to travel Europe for about 6 months in 2015 and don't just want the tourist experience. I read about couchsurfing on The Savvy Backpacker and have friends who have used it within the U.S. I would be offering up my couch to surfers in the meantime, but unfortunately I don't currently have my own place.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to hear about your life and travels and would always appreciate some French lessons.
