CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to meet friendly people who may be able to help show me around the city in which they live.

ABOUT ME

Hey everyone, I'm an archaeologist from LA and I am here to have a good time. I have never been to France but I will be travelling to Paris this winter and will be looking to meet some cool people there.

PHILOSOPHY

I say live and let live....enjoy life and don't be an asshole! I live to experience all of the wonders that the world has to offer, whether natural or constructions of the human race. I would definitely say that I am liberal when it comes to social issues but I also don't mind having a debate. I consider myself to be a scientist and I view things from a scientific perspective at times...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a student and I do not want to have to spend a fortune on accommodations while traveling so that I have more to spend on my experiences; I am going to France this go around and I speak no French at all and I am nervous about that so I would be great to be with someone who speaks the local language, knows their way around and who can show me some things that I may not ordinarily see.

I will be a surfer for the near future...
