ABOUT ME

Hello,
My name is Guillaume and i live in Paris. I'm French. I've rather much used to using couchsurfing these last 8 years, especially during my bikes trip all around Europe (in Italy, Sicily, Greece, Albania, England, Montenegro... and many others, only by bike!). I like serious vacations, close to local people, always trying to know languages and cultures. For me couchsurfing is one of the way to fight our abstract conception of travelling, or being a tourist...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people when abroad and to meet them when at home!

Interests

I like to spend much of my time reading and studying absolutely everything, from history to philosophy, but also art history, architecture, litterature and languages, thus arts, for sure Music (I'm a great lover of Opera and Piano) Otherwise, the second part of my hobbies are trips only in harsh conditions, and above all travels by bike. I've already made three long journey, and I travelled by bike in 2017 from Trieste down to Athen: 2000 kms of mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a big bit of French gastronomy and of French humour! Learn you almost nothing, because the only thing I know is questionning myself. But I can share with you many stories, am always glad to share a drink, a good French wine or a French supper. And maybe a stay in Paris when I come back?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Humour, parties and culture.
