I am an Au pair in France for my gap year and I'm taking several backpacking trips while here. I am obsessed with all the art, music, literature, cooking and dancing in the world, also penguins are kind of the best thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It sounds like a really great way to meet people and learn from a local instead of traveling in the tourist wave

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hiked the Grand Canyon three times

I attended the 2015 Emmys 😱 still in shock a year and a half later

Swing danced to live music under the Eiffel Tower at dusk

I'm the aunt of 16 nieces and nephews and I only forget there names when I'm tired 😉

I've read all The Lord of The Ring's books twelve times, cause I'm that much of a geek. Also got to see Sams actor at comic con, as I said I'm a geek
