ABOUT ME

I am a Primary school teacher in Perpignan and I have a contract until April.
Currently working on my French and meeting lovely new people. Where ever I am located I enjoy being a part of a community, and that is what I attempt to share with fellow with surfers.
I am a social activist and will remain one until the day I die. I believe in a sustainable way of life and consuming wisely, it isn't always easy but I do my best.
I love to read and stay connected with what is going on in the world...

PHILOSOPHY

love and be loved

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Everyone loves a good coversation and the feeling of making a meaningful connection. That is what Couchsurfing is all about, right?
I believe the original essence of this project is to experience new places, share stories, and learn about someone else's life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lived in Geneva in 2009 and worked for the International Center for Trade and Sustainable Development.
I couchsurfed a bit around Europe and met some really great people and had some fantastic experiences. I moved back to the United States, finished my studies and now I am in France and getting reconnected.
Living in Perpignan has been a great experience and I love France...I'm headed back to the United States for work and will most definitely have a couch once I arrive. Leaving France April 20
