Hello there!
My name is Loulou, and I am currently a student at the University of Minnesota twin-cities. I am currently studying economics, but to be completely honest, it is not me passion. I feel like I have interests in many different subjects, but I enjoy learning the most about biology, chemistry, writing, architecture, and cultural studies. In my free time I like to watch cartoons, read, bike. I am also a basketball fan, but only when my team ( the timberwolves ) are doing well. Also a little side note, I don't drink or smoke, but I am still down for a good time!

❌ I am not at all interested in anything romantic with any of my hosts. I am also not comfortable being around nudity. While I do find the human body beautiful, I am not at a point where I can be comfortable with strangers being naked in front of me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couch surfing is a great way to make friends! While I do plan on staying in hostels, the reason why I want to couch surf is so that I can make close connections with people and get to learn about their everyday lives. I am going to be traveling to all these different cities in France, and while I am there I would love to learn what it's like to be a local. What are the best bars, where do you guys go to have fun, what is the best kebab place, things like that that I wouldn't be able to learn just by hanging out with people in hostels. One of my favorite travel experiences was when I visited Strasbourg for 2 days, and on the last night I decided to go to a bar by myself and socialize. I met some locals who were friends with the bartender and I ended up hanging out with them for the rest of the night! I had so much fun and I think that by couch surfing I will be able to make those kinds of connections.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really hope to learn how to cook some new stuff while I travel around! I can try and teach you some of the things that I know how to make, but I am by no means any kind of chef. I can definitely teach how to shuffle cards in a really cool way though :)
