ABOUT ME

My name is Joshua Alan, and I am an American with a love of the European life and people! My career path is a beautiful one as a makeup artist for television and film. I have done several projects in the USA, but now living in France as an English Language Assistant at two middle schools and trying to get my foot in the door here. I love meeting new people, trying new things, and living like a local, pretty much everything couchsurfing is about! Don't hesitate to ask questions or propose a meet-up!

PHILOSOPHY

"See it through, 'cause no one is going to do it for you!" It's a quote used by a professor I had, and it has stuck with me for a long time! It inspires me to jump on every opportunity I have!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My last time actively on here, I was solely surfing, then moved back to a super small town in America that no one wanted to visit. I am back now in great town and offering up my couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have cherished every moment of my CS experiences! I met some remarkable people, saw some awe-inspiring places, and could not be happier!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been on the band list for a Gossip Youth concert in Chicago. I was so close to Beth Ditto that she spit on me. I died.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got some great cooking skills, but not metric-system conversion skills... I am willing to cook for any of my host friends, and hopefully teach you a few things about good 'ole southern (USA) cooking!
