FIRST OF ALL politeness is the key! Back to basics : answer (even briefly) to a message sent to you, say « thank you » when someone is trying to help even if you finally won’t use their help, be respectful at all times.

I am a French guy, living in Paris for 20 years, and working as medical doctor. When I travel, I love connecting with local people and making new friends. As a person, I see myself as a nice and respectful person, curious about other cultures, impressed by other people's creativity. I enjoy literature, history and arts, especially music (of which I'm super fond) as well as physical activities like working out, hiking, running, skiing (montain guy here!)... I also am fond of good food (my weak point!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy a lot meeting people, wherever I go. This is a nice way to make new friends, discover their life and points of view, learn about their culture.
On the other hand, I love living in Paris, and I really enjoy helping people getting the most of their visit!
All my experiences on Couchsurfing have been good so far. I have met amazing people from many different places and backgrounds, some have become my friends.
