I'm from the United States, and love traveling. I am very easygoing, love cooking, and I'm currently training for a 10k race. I love reading -- Lord of the Rings is my all-time favorite, but I also read a lot of memoirs. I'm always open to meeting new people.

I love to travel especially when trains are involved. In all of the countries that I have visited, I have taken a train!

I'd love to host once I return home to the USA! My current apartment does not have any couches or open spaces, unfortunately.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet new people who have such interesting and diverse experiences. I look forward to good conversations, advice on new places, and great memories!

Je suis très heureuse de vous rencontrer!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled solo across the United States by train over three weeks in 2021. It's amazing how many different landscapes you cross, from the largest cities in the world to open farms to mountains to vast deserts to the beach!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and baking/cooking. I would love to learn any skills someone is willing to teach! As for sharing, I would love to share a meal or a walk through your city.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can practice English (and decent French) with you! I also love cooking for others (especially desserts).
