I'm from Chicago, but I'm currently staying in the outskirts of Paris. Im on sabbatical from my job as a massage therapist. I specifically came to the French countryside to study equestrian acrobatics with one of the greats. I used to work with liberty horses in the circus, and am excited learn something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and traveling in alternative ways.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have rehabilitated an aggressive pit bull and a cagey, distrustful Cane Corso into two confident, secure therapy dogs. More recently, I fine tuned a hyperactive boxer pup into everybody's favorite dog.
