Hello ! I am a 25 year old Parisian working in a startup as a product designer. In my free time I work in a music magazine, read tech magazines, and try to be up to my favorite series/films.

I've often heard that I am a typical Frenchy : always up to discover new cuisine, talking for hours about random stuff (with a glass of wine), and having a little pride about French culture. Only the marine stripe shirt is missing (I don't wear them anymore 😮).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

• As a surfer
I don't do CS for the free hosting. Hosting is cheap in any hostel. What's invaluable is meeting different cultures, learning to know a city from an insider point of vue, or having tips about fun things to do. That's the best part about CS.

• As a host
When I was travelling around Russia/China, I was very happy to meet locals that could show me the cool Moscow/Beijing that change from Red Square or cheesy Lonely Planet recommandations. And I realized I could do the same with Paris.
