About Me

Hi there !
My name is Antonin, I am a 25. I spend half the time in Paris working as a guide the other half on eco-construction site.
I did Art History and Philosophy at Uni, but I love what is not taught there: urban life, multicultural cities, open minded discussions, outdoor adventure, camping in the wild...
I finished my studies in 2017 with an exchange semester in New York City and this is when I knew I wanted to travel. Back in Paris I decided to be an international alternative touristic guide to offer qualitative tours in my beautiful city and save a little money to travel as soon as possible. Luckily, this job allows me to meet new people from all around the globe every week and to be open to the world.
I love meeting new people and discovering new culture but I also value alone time, which I mostly spend reading or exploring on my bike.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered couchsurfing for my USA south-west trip in 2019 and felt stupid for not having used it before.
Meeting individuals from different cultures widens your perspective of the world and strengthens your trust for people in general, I think we need that.
