PLEASE NOTE: I LEFT PARIS AND MOVED IN NEW ZEALAND SO NOT ABLE TO HOST PEOPLE IN PARIS ANYMORE.

We are non smokers, respectful and love travelling!

I (Caroline) come from Paris and have studied osteopathy over there.
I'm also very interesting in the human being both physically and emotionally. How it's different according to the country and culture. To take care of my body I like doing somatic practices on myself like Qi Gong or yoga...
To balance the mind, I do meditation retreat as soon as I can.

Harry is a fly fisherman (most popular fly fisherman on the social media platform instagram - @harrymoores), photographer, pianist and artist. He is passionate about travelling, outdoors, and meeting new people from different backgrounds. He is a very kindhearted person who spends months each year meditating and serving others at Vipassana.

We both have a passion for cooking, adventure and we are respectful of the customs of other cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because we want to meet new people and share amazing experiences with people from all over the world.
