I am from Chicago, but I have finished my studies in New Jersey. Afterwards I worked for one of the biggest banks in the world, Citibank and got to work and live in New York and Dallas. Since then I have lived in Spain and now in France. I am an English professor. I love languages and I love to travel. I speak English, Spanish, Arabic fluently. I am intermediate in French and would love to improve it. And I am a beginner in Norwegian and Italian.

I love basketball, tennis, volleyball and walking. I love to travel and learn about other cultures. I also like to cook and bake and I am good at it. I am a good dancer I have been told and I like nice weather. It is really nice to go to the beach, have a swim and just relax.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently in France now working and I definitely want to explore more the various French cities. As a professor here I have a lot of vacation time and I would like to take advantage of visiting new cities. This way I can meet local French people to learn about the culture and practice my language. I also love meeting new people. I am very respectful, kind and outgoing.
