From Chicago currently living in France as an English teaching assistant. I love to travel and meet new people so this is an obvious way for me to do both. I've found that traveling is a completely different experience when you're with people who live in a place and know it well and I always feel very privileged when I have the chance to do so.

I'm a laid back person, adaptable, and eclectic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to gain new experiences, make new friends, learn new languages, discover new cultures and places... to embrace humanity!
