Hi everyone,

My name is Manon, I'm from France and I'm working as an intern in a French immersion school in Saint-Paul Minnesota for a year (until July).
I grew up in Nantes, France and as far as I remember, spending time abroad was one of my life goal. I am curious and I like to meet people, easygoing, discreet.
Otherwise, here's some facts about me:
- I found $600 dollars outside of a casino in Las Vegas when I was 19.
- I danced on the stage with Beth Dito (Gossip singer).
- I don't like cheese but one of my favorite meal is raclette and cheese is a BIG part of it.
- I love snow and cold.
- One of my dreams is to be ''friend'' with a wild animal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the end of my travel in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2014 I had one regret: the fact that I discover the city only through travel books. So I decided for my next travel to do my best to discover the city through the eyes of someone who really know the city. I think a city is full of secrets that only a current inhabitant can know.

As I say, I am curious and I like meet other people with a different culture than mine. I am convinced that meet different people is really important to grow up and be really openminded.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love snow, so one of my favorite memories is the Grand Canyon under snow in December and a journey in Highlands in Scotland in March, it was really beautiful to see all this lakes and mountains cover with snow.
