Description

Hello!
My name is Sophie, I am an open and curious American with a love for the outdoors and a desire to experience other cultures and places. For a living, I work for a book scout and write as a freelancer. For everything else, I love to write, try new foods, hike, surf, and make things with my hands. English is my native language, and I am eager to learn French, Spanish, Italian, or anything else. I have a background teaching kids how to swim and a passion for theatre, and in the past have done odd jobs--painting and cleaning, etc. and have no issues breaking a sweat. It would be an honor to stay with you, learn about your life, and tell you about mine!
