CURRENT MISSION

To live life with no regrets.

ABOUT ME

I am an English teacher in two primary schools in southern France while I figure out what else I want to do with my life. I have an open mind and I am always looking to learn new things and meet new people. I am afraid of becoming too comfortable with my situation in life. At this point, I don't want to compromise my freedom for stability and I never want to look back on my life and wish I had done something differently.

PHILOSOPHY

Be honest with yourself and with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I unfortunately do not have the ability to host, but I participate in the local couchsurfing community and have met some really terrific people through the events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in France and the Netherlands and have never had a bad experience. Everyone I ave stayed with has been very welcoming and I love being shown around the city by someone who really knows and loves where they live.

Interests

I love to discuss philosophy and politics with anyone and everyone. I am also an avid reader and I love movies. Learning is a lifelong process and I take every opportunity I can to engage with others so that I can expand my own knowledge of the world, and hopefully theirs as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I traveled to Europe was for a family vacation in Ireland. As we were exploring a druid structure, it struck me that this small building was older than my entire country, significantly older. To this day I am constantly in awe at the depth of history that I find in the world that simply does not exist in the United States because the country is so young.
