My name is Matt, and I will be heading to Paris in the fall (2019) to teach English at the primary level in Créteil.

I love to run (especially on Washington State's amazing trails), read, play guitar, speak in French, cook (only sometimes to be honest!), ride my little motorcycle around, and a bunch of other things that I can't think of right now.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

To meet new peeps in new places and experience new thangs!
