Hello! My name is Lola, I'm 24, and I'm currently on a gap year before starting a master's degree in anthropology :) I've lived in Detroit, Columbus, Chicago, and now am spending time with my father's side of the family in the suburbs of Paris. I'm creating projects around the theme of heritage, genealogy, and family interviews. Anthropological filmmaking is really my juice of life. Plus, I'm a natural at asking questions (or is that just called being nosy?...)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to do a bit of budget-efficient traveling while I'm in the Western-Europe neighborhood. I pride myself in being neat, respectful, and empathetic. My instagram is @lola791930 if you'd like to verify that I'm a real person. Spoiler alert! I'm cute and cool.

Also, PLEASE look past my 0 references. I was just dreading paying that $60 verification fee.
