I'm a chill person always down to chat and hangout. I'm from South Bend, Indiana, but I went to school in Seattle and lived there for five years. Now I'm living in Toulouse, France as a English Teacher at a middle school and high school, but I will soon be going back to the States - still to be determined where I will go and what I will do. I'm enjoying my time in France and the freedom that comes with it as much as possible, and I love meeting people from all over the place and sharing our different perspectives on the world. I appreciate everyone that hosts and I will help out in any way I can - cooking, cleaning, doing your taxes, walking your dog etc etc

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
