Hello! I am about to spend 7 months teaching in southern France, and am very excited to use the time to travel. I like to read a lot, but also stay active by sailing, skiing, running, and currently I am starting a blog. I have a serious love of food, and I have begun to really love cooking as well. I speak French and English and basic Spanish. Since I'm moving to Nîmes, I'd love to meet people there and of course in nearby Montpellier. Not looking for hosts in Nîmes, but would like meet ups! Also plan on travelling lots during my stay

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a college graduate who is spending October till May as a teaching assistant in Nîmes . I'll have time to travel a lot and want to meet more people
