I'm an American student currently living in France for the spring. I have a pretty good Irish accent so I pretend to be Irish often to avoid being american. I can't play the Oboe. I can do a chill night hanging out but my natural inclination is to drink some, see where the night goes. I'm not tall not short, pretty friendly, and have a good sense of direction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and save money... thats why this is here right?

Interests

Reading, traveling,.. I dunno, interesting stuff. Interesting stuff interests me. Philosophy and History would be my more academic interests, for life in general making good memories and meeting people.

I play Rugby for my college, played soccer/realfootball for 15 years before that, and enjoy hiking outdoorsy type stuff.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read alot, most of Brandon Sanderson's stuff, same for Orson Scott Card, Terry Brooks, and Partick Rothfus. Both book and tv/movie forms of the Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones; my favorite genre is probably Fantasy but I read alot of Scifi as well. Could definitely nerd out about books alot longer than I have space for here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon at sunrise and bellowed 'Let the be light!' as the sun crested the southern rim. That was pretty cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know that the land mass of the Scandinavian peninsula including Finland is called Fennoscandia? While Scandinavia is limited to Norway Sweden and Denmark.. poor Finland right?
I'd be interested to learn how demonstrate Learning in a text box; I'm gonna go with a question I don't know the answer to.. Which came first, the couch or the chair?
And I'll share I have a small scar on my hand from when I accidentally knocked out a window. Fascinating I know

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company, a good book recommendation, and a few stories at the least; the enjoyment of which varies from person to person, though approximately 76.38 of people polled said they enjoy my company or at least found it mildly entertaining.
