CURRENT MISSION

I am trying to learn dancing for a while... long way to go!
I also recently started to learn sailing .
Trying to hike when I can.

I need to enjoy life more and I should take the time for it.

ABOUT ME

My name is Denis, I was born in West of France and I have been living in Paris for about 20 years, uncontinuously.
Besides that I cant stop moving and I never settle down, I am a reliable guy.
I am not shy but I prefer a conversation one to one, rather that big groups.
I love observing and discovering new aspects of life.
I like dancing and visual art.
I prefer a picnic on the beach at sunset to a gastronomic restaurant and a concert in the local theater to an international artist in the national stadium.

PHILOSOPHY

It is easy to be bored and sad, happiness and good experiences are the result of daring and doing efforts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I opened this profile a while ago to access someone's information as we were connected on another website (hospitalityclub), but I did not use it. Recently I decided to pay more attention to it, completed my profile... and started to use it, mostly as a host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

With other organisations or private direct/indirect connections.
These days I host lot more than visit. Unfortunately I don't always have the time to host...
I like guest with original profile (concerning age, puspose of travelling, points of interest ...).
After leaving, I appreciate if you dont forget about the comment. You dont need to put much but it helps me to keep memories of who I have hosted or surfed.

Interests

I love strolling around hoping to fall on something unexpected (and positive of course).
I need to learn all the time.
I sometimes practice sport.
Travelling is nice.

Music, Movies, and Books

I realised that all novels and movies I like are about travelling, adventure of life...and often main characters are women.
Mostly French-speaking literature (lot of African and Carribean).
Latin and oriental music.
Art movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living abroad was great experiences to me.
I think my best remembers of tourism are in Laos, when I was backpacking 15 years ago with the feeling of freedom.

Teach, Learn, Share

There are not many things I can really teach. Maybe: my language, some of couple dances, history/culture of my city and country.
There are many things I am eager to learn: Foreign language, swimming, dancing, drawing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I offer accommodation, as detailed in the relevant section.
When I have free time, I am happy to show around.
