Hi! I'm a 25-year-old American living in the south of France where I work as an assistant de langue - teaching English to French children in three elementary schools. I would describe myself as kind, easygoing, and down-to-earth. I'm almost always smiling or laughing, and I try to find humor in life whenever I can. I love travel because of the opportunity to immerse myself in different cultures, learn from others, and make new friends. I enjoy being thrown into an environment in which I'm completely unfamiliar, and I get restless if I stay in the same place too long.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The opportunity to meet and learn from others, travel, and see new places. I prefer to travel like a local, rather than a tourist. The opportunity to explore a city with a local, or simply have a recommendation of where to go, see, eat, etc. is always wonderful.
