PLEASE write "HOUSE RULES OK" in your first message to show you read and ACCEPT the house rules * below :

* I'm gay and only host gay-friendly people ;
* I'm still a smoker and I smoke at home. I can smoke at the window, but still, you will certainly have to cope with some cigarettes smell in the house ;
* If you ask to be hosted during the week, you should follow my schedule because, as stated above, I work and sometimes during the week-end too... that implies normally that we can meet in the evening around 18h30 and you should leave my place around 8:20 in the morning ; oh... last but not least : I cannot always stay up all night ;)
* think about sharing any additional cost due to your presence (mostly food and drinks) ;
* a preference for rugged guys, backpackers style (as opposite to clean cut/neat/perfumed guys 🤷🏼‍♂️).

So, here below you will find a short and obviously not exhaustive description of myself.
Just enough to make a little opinion about me ☺
First of all I would say I’m a decent person.
57 years old-young man, at ease with youngsters as well with elders.
Born in Paris from Italian parents, grew up in Italy (Venice) till my twenties, I’ve been living in Paris for about 36 years now. If you ask me my nationality, basically I would say I feel European.
Optimistic, life may be hard so I think we should try to enjoy every inch of joy/love/friendship/fun life brings us to – “seize the moment”!
Dreamer, but down to earth, I don’t like people who takes themselves too seriously, but don’t like false modesty neither.
l’m respectful, passionate, joyful, I love to laugh. I’ve an eclectic personality, and definitely open-minded. I'm curious, about life, about experiences, about people. Things I’m interested to and my tastes are…eclectic, what did you expect? ☺
- music, from pop/rock/electro/disco/indie to classical as well as contemporary, love concerts of any kind ;
- art, all forms, from classical to contemporary ;
- literature, from thrillers, psychology, society, classical or contemporary novels ;
- cinema, theatre, contemporary dance…

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for an opportunity to meet different kind of people, and have a more interesting experience visiting new places and saving money to see other interesting places :)

I can be a very discreet person : if you host me, don't feel you must share all your time with me. I'm an autonomous guy, so even a few advises is enough. I'll be glad if you show me around and to spend more time together if we both feel having things to share. And if you're a guest, well, it's the other way around :)
