I'm an American who has been living in Moscow for little over 6 months now. Beforehand, I lived in Paris, FR for about 3 years. I'm originally from a city just south of Washington D.C. called Virginia Beach. I've studied in both the United States and France, and currently, I am working as an English teacher here in Moscow.

I love to travel and meet new people, so don't hesitate to send me a message!

2015 Update - Living in Moscow, Russia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and hopefully travel a little!

Update Feb 2016 - Looking for a place to stay in Poland for about a week while I reapply for my visa! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am an experienced couch surfer. Back in Paris I have hosted people from Sweden and Russia!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Visited Palestine just before the arab spring and learned some of the Mashrek dialect (While in university in Paris)
- Survived the Russian winter (so far) ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach English.

I'm learning Levantine Arabic (Lebanese, Syria, Palestine, Jordan) and trying to improve in French. I'm also trying to learn more about the humanitarian field and meet people who have the same goals.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Can help with english. I've been an English teacher for 3.5 years now for people of all ages (.5 - 40+). I have also helped with interview and TOEFL prep.
