About Me

I'm currently living and working close to Paris as an English language assistant.
I'm super easy going and can have a good time doing anything. I love to laugh, if you aren't very funny don't worry...I can always make myself giggle.
Though I'm from Australia, I feel like I should have been born in Europe. I fall in love with each new place and person I meet.
I love animals - especially dogs and I miss mine a lot when I'm not at home in Australia so I'd be more than happy to meet your pooches.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been living alone for the past 7 months and I'm a little sick of my own company. I'm interested in meeting people from different cultures and hearing their travel stories. I've stayed in hostels and hotels and I'm looking for a different and more authentic experience. I'm brand new to couch surfing but I'm excited to learn and grow from the people that I meet. A local experience is always better than a tourist experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

From classical to metal and everything in-between its way too hard for me to make a music list.
I am an avid Disney fan but I do also enjoy movies with a little more substance
As for books, I prefer fiction but reading is one of my favourite pastimes though I don't think I can convert to the kindle/e-reader...the smell of a real book is one of my favourite things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My current job has been pretty amazing. I moved half way around the world, and did not know anyone in France. Trying to teach English to french teens who prefer to smoke all day was a big challenge but it was amazing to see them show interest in my classroom.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you English and I am hoping to improve my French skills.
I also worked at Apple so if you need any technological help I may be able to assist in all of your Apple needs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some conversation, company, wine...anything. Sharing is caring!
