Often attempt to avoid mediocrity and superficiality. Doesn't mean I'm successful though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Per my attempts to avoid superficiality, I hope to forge a not-superficial connection with the places I travel to by getting to know the people there.

I specifically signed up to Couchsurfing (1/2015) in anticipation of my upcoming 1-week trip to Paris. I have been learning French for more than 3 years, and I look forward to conversing with my potential hosts and embarrassing myself with my fledgling French over there ;).
