I just graduated University and I am living France for a year to work as an au pair and explore the continent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am not making too much money as an au pair, and I think this a unique and awesome way to meet people! This is my first time ever traveling solo and I am loving discovering more of myself alongside people from completely different cultures.

I think it is a unique opportunity to stay with locals who know the area and I love the international community.
