Hello! My name is Richard Perez, but my friends call me Ritchie! I am a third year student at the University of California Irvine majoring in Business Economics and minoring in political science and statistics. I'm currently studying abroad for the fall semester at the University de Lyon 3 in Lyon, France. In my free time, I like to do outdoor activities such as hiking, going to the beach, play soccer and tennis, and any other outdoor activities!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to Couchsurfing, but I've heard from multiple friends that it's a great way to meet new people while traveling! Since I'm from the United States, and going to Europe isn't close, I plan to do a lot of traveling throughout Europe and hopefully I get to meet new people along the way :)

Interests

I really enjoy participating in outdoor activies!
My favorite type of music is Pop Punk (ex: Blink 182, New Found Glory, The Story So Far)
One of my favorite things to do is go on road trips with friends!
