ABOUT ME

I grew up in a suburb of Seattle called Bellevue, and then I lived on my own in Olympia for four years as a student and then a Preschool teacher. Now I am teaching general and business English at University Montesquieu (Bordeaux) and living with my wonderful boyfriend and his (interesting...) family. I like reading comics (favorite francophone: Tintin; favorite anglophone: Calvin and Hobbes) and paying 9 euros at the cinema to see movies on the big screen.

I'm interested in working in translation, but my personal taste? I like the world in V.O. (version originale)

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is that all is fair on the dance floor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted two surfers from the site, and one friend, all of which offered me insight and very wonderful experiences. I am no longer able to host in my current situation, but down the line I plan to have a comfortable, welcoming, and active couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed upon arriving in Bordeaux until I found an apartment. I have also couchsurfed in other cities, and have always been welcomed wonderfully and readily!

Music, Movies, and Books

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned that "you've got to go there to know there" from Zorah Neale Hurston, and I intend to do just that.
