**READ MY PROFILE** and answer the questions I wrote
If you don't read and answer I will simply refuse your request, so don't waste our time

(The audacity of people copy pasting stuff like: "I read your profile, and blablabla" but don't answer any question 🤣)

Simple life

So, what you should know about me definitely wouldn't fit in a few lines and surely would be changing after I wrote it. But in any way, you should at least know that:
I am french, born and raised in Paris, and I love my city
For the way I grew up, with friends from everywhere and every style, I am what people say really tolerant, with my own moral, somehow very open minded (being open-minded doesn't automatically mean that I want to engage in gay sex, thank you for understanding that, guys, I am straight, no chance 😂. Yes, I have to make it clear because I have a lot of messages like this. And still receive requests with gay innuendos because yeah apparently lot of gays have a kink for straight guys, hoping they can make them crack and just can't hold.... Ah men men men.. ).

Since covid era, I learned to enjoy the most of time and life, been spending more time with friends and traveling, chilling, partying (I love techno, been to all kind of underground parties)

As for hosting,
I receive a lot of requests for couch, and it is important that you read my profile, or it will simply be denied.
I think it is important for us, to make the stay an enjoyable stay, because you don't want to be hosted by someone you don't fit with, and I'm not on CS to be a free hostel. Surely, having a free bed is a good thing, but that wouldn't make the whole thing of CS. It's about connecting people. If you make a request for 2 people, I'd like you tell me more about your fellow companion than just referring to as "my girlfriend" or "John". It's important for me to know the people that plan to be staying under the same roof as me!

It is important to know that we live together for a few days, so as much as it is important for you to find a nice host, it is important for me to welcome quality guests with who I can click
Also, to make it clear so I don't have to ask systematically, and to have more chances of being accepted, in your request you should tell me (and this would be also good for your other requests ;) :
Your arrival and departure time
Who is your travel companion, if not a link to CS with reference, at least a link to another social network
What are your plans in Paris ?
Why should we spend time together and why I should host you ?
If you have data on your phone or just wifi (practical to know, so many problems happened because my surfers didn't think to warn me they couldn't reach me after arriving in France)
If your CS profile really lacks of content, that's not a good point. Please fill it before, make some efforts =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's good to meet local people and as a host let other people discover
Seriously, I think it's kind of the same for almost everyone =)

Interests

Just as everyone I guess, who doesn't like good things in life ?

Also, so I know that you actually pay attention to the bio while you make your request, you should tell me if you prefer white or red wine in your message ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not a book reader (except Song of Ice and Fire).
Basically, I love movies, I am really into it, all kinds of movies, especially action, drama, thriller, sci-fi, adventure, noir,..from everywhere in the world (as long as it's not bad ofc)
If you can advise me some great movies that I didn't see, I'd love it
I love almost every kind of music, mostly soul, hip-hop, electronic, techno a lot for party, just not hardcore metal or similar, and stuff alike, that doesn't feel like music with melody but just a teenage rage 😂

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess I need to live more !

Homeless and drunk sleeping with refugees
Quad racing in the crowded streets in China
Ate turtle soup and drank snake liquor 😂

Teach, Learn, Share

I was a cook, so I know some recipes from France and around the world
I love to discover new foods, drinks, and I can also maybe show you some, if you ask
I can bring you to a techno party

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you're interested in cooking, there is an opportunity to share meals.
I am into photography, I can shoot your portrait if you want, I'm always looking for interesting models. (I said portrait, it means face, not outdoor background tourist landmarks)

Share stories, life experience, personal experience, ideas, drinks, cook, talk philosophy and remake the world, culture, knowledge, time, let's go party, fun, whatever. Just ask!
Spread the love !
