Hello everybody!

My name is Silje and I am currently traveling in France, practicing my french and meeting wonderful open minded people, and I am loving it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently quit my job as a teacher to travel in France with the goal to become a better french speaker. I have so far done two months of cultural exchange where I have lived with and worked for two french families (through the site workaway) and now I want to try a new site and another form of exchange, and therefore I am here on Couchsurfing!

I want to meet locals and to experience the french way of living. I want to meet new people, have fun, laugh, share stories and culture. And I would love to practice my french with someone patient, kind and open minded.

Interests

I love to travel, to explore the world and see everything it has to offer.

I am a person who finds happiness through being active and doing activities like climbing, hiking, dancing and yoga, but I also thrive when reading books, spending time cooking, being creative and meditating.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an English teacher and can help with improving your English skills. I also speak Norwegian (mother tongue) and I am fluent in Swedish, so I can help with those two languages as well.

I love to cook, and would love to share good times in the kitchen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sharing of experiences and stories, a smile and good energy.
