Hello! My name is Henry :) I'm a 22 year old American living and working in Laval, France. I'm a part time English teacher at two primary schools here. I grew up in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and graduated high school in Lausanne, Switzerland. At university I studied a variety of topics such as History, French, and Theater, but I graduated with a B.A. in English.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying to spend as much of 2015-2016 as I can traveling around Europe meeting people. Hotels are nice for privacy, but part of getting to know a place comes from meeting people. Unfortunately I live in a student residence which will not allow me to host anyone, but it would be a pleasure to come and share stories and meals with you.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge metal head. My favorite band of all time is Epica. But I also have recently really gotten into Hozier. At university I specialized in American literature, but I love many books, particularly coming of age stories. My favorite movie of all time... that is hard to say... but my favorite actors right now are Tom Hiddleston, Tom Hardy, and Emma Stone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've written a novel. It is bad and didn't get published... but I was really proud of myself for writing it.

What I Can Share with Hosts
