I joined many years ago but I haven’t had the chance to surf until now... I am currently taking a break from university and spending 6 months being an au pair in a small French village near Geneva. This is my first time outside of the U.S. and I am trying to visit as many new places as I can before I go back. I am super excited to see and learn about different parts of Europe!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to travel and I think the idea of this community of likeminded people that want to help is amazing! Since I have limited time and not a lot of money, I think Couchsurfing will allow me to submerse myself in the culture of where I am and I could learn so much from people that I would have otherwise never met.
