Hi! I am a former Chicagoan that relocated to Normandy France in 1999. I am a fluent French speaker and passionate about languages. In France I teach English, Intercultural Awareness, and Theatre to graduate engineering students in France. I'm thinking about coming back to the States so I'll be in Boston to have a look around to see what Boston is like! I've heard so many good things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to share, exchange, discuss and meet people! The world seems so much smaller and cozier when we can go anywhere and meet anyone!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is difficult - I love (almost) everything! From Bach to Britney and not forgetting of course the Blues!!!
Movies are easy! I am so easy to please the only thing I can't do are horror flicks - they give me nightmares!
Books, lets just say that if I could live in a castle made of books that would be my version of heaven!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mastered French and moved to France - tricky but I did it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching is what I do and what I love but only after that comes my love of learning! I believe it was Bill Nye the science guy who said "Everyone you meet knows something you don't". Truly words to live by!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Wow lots! Absolutely anything about France (eh, maybe not French history.... it's SO complicated!) and the French language; what living in Europe is like. I'm quite a good cook so anything food and wine related, anything about Intercultural studies... my gosh the list goes on!
