I'm a young & overconfident traveler, forever seeking a sunset, an adventure, and a good conversation. I currently live in France and teach small french children how to speak english (and also that american stereotypes should not be based on Hollywood films and that we don't all support Donald Trump -_-).My love language is quality time & I find that the more of the world I see, the more I realize that my best experiences come from people and the impact they make on me and vice versa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Thus, as I discover new places, I would like to also discover new people. And then have a reason to come back! Because there is never enough time, so I'm always searching for an excuse to revisit a place.

Also I like food, a lot. So if you cook & know regional specialties, I like you already :)
