I am a 31 year old woman looking to experience living abroad for a year. My only hope is to learn to speak French fluently (Currently 25%), meet people all over Europe and learn about living in a different culture (other than American). I am very friendly and open. I enjoy most any conversation and am interested in people and all their fun variations. I get along with almost everyone I meet. I am into sports, especially water activities. I also enjoy yoga and running. I am silly but can be serious. I love reading and science is a passion of mine. I look forward to meeting you!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I gave birth to a 10lb child, got my bachelors degree in Marine Biology, co-parented with 2 other people, became a master scuba diver, wrote a scientific paper on the phytoplankton in the Mediterranean, started my own business and lost 60lbs all in 12 short years.

In short, my life is one amazing thing I've been lucky enough to experience and engage with.
