CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people and hopefully make friends in the new city I am living in. Learn French!

ABOUT ME

I am 27 and live in Paris, I have only lived here for a short time and am looking to meet new people for an after work drink or activity. I like meeting new people and finding out about them and their lives. I am easy going and always try to treat people the way I would hope to be treated myself.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people the way you wish to be treated. Try new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to this but seems like it could be fun

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although not through this site I have had some experiences when on travels such as friends of friends or people I have met.

In australia I went and stay round guys my aunt met on the inca trail a year earlier - it was such a good decsion. He lived on a farm about 2 or 3 hours north west of sydney (quite remote) we helped out on the farm and he showed us around the local area. We drank home brew while watching sport in the evenings. I remember the experience of mince on toast for breakfast and the look of disapointment on his dads face when my friend briefly went for the jam.

Also stayed with an indonesian family in who randomly met in a resturant, turned out they were a family of doctors and they kindly showed me and my friend round THEIR hospital.

Interests

Sports both watching and playing. Meeting new people and going new places. Enjoy trying new things you never know what you may like eventhings you do not expect to like. For example at university one of my friends wanted to do dancing and one boxing. I didn't expect to like dancing but agreed to try both actually found it really fun and went for the term.
