I am currently living and working as an au pair in Nantes, France

Last spring I graduated with a degree in literature from the University of Montana. Fun fact, I always have at least one book with me at all times

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel inexpensively and as much as possible in my free time while living abroad

I’m new to this site but I’ve stayed in many hostels and I love meeting other travelers and open minded people

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite authors include Baldwin, Nabokov, Morrison, and Plath

Very open to different types of music, as long as it s not elevator music dun dun dun

I don’t watch many movies but I do love Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amelie Poulain, Mad Max Fury Road, and Stardust. Yes, strange combination of favorites

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled solo for seven weeks across Central Europe which opened my eyes and inspired me to move back to France from the US

Teach, Learn, Share

Je veux améliorer mon français. Si vous voulez parler en français ou en anglais, on pourra faire une échange des langues !!!

I love to make nice meals and drink with other people. I mostly cook vegetarian but will try dishes with meat occasionally

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share meals, (cheap) wine, good conversation, and travel stories. Talk in English or a bit in French :)
