Hey friends! I'm Sarah, a recent graduate from the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities. I will be teaching English in France from October 2016-May 2017 and I'm stoked for the travelling to be had around Europe. I love learning languages and have loved learning ASL thus far! Ultimately, I hope to teach in a French immersion school either in the US or Canada.

I'm living with a couple here in the south of France and although I'd love to host, I'm unable to due to the contract agreement! Sorry! Once I'm back in the US, I'd love to host :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm excited for this unique opportunity to live in and travel around Europe. Seeing the cities is great, but what's also important is to really get to the know the city through a local's perspective and to discover the true gems of the area. As a kid my family hosted international students and sharing experiences with them impacted me so much that I'd love to continue!
