Even after 7 years of French classes in school, I don't have much to show for it but I have a love of the language and a strong desire to be bilingual. I graduated from college with a bachelor's in General Studies but with a focus in education. After 10 years of babysitting I was able to fund my own 6 month hiking trip along the Appalachian Trail in 2016 and with the travel bug having taken root, I feel the need to take off again on a new adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning a trip to France to learn the language on a tight budget and would like to meet new people and to be immersed in the culture as well as the language.
