Life enthusiatic, interesting about almost everything, eager to learn and joyful, I like to meet new people from around the world and share my philosophy of life.

I am fond of volunteering and working for non-profit organisations. I have experience in different kind of organisations such as cultural, litterary, animal, environnemental, charity, etc.
It is always amazing to meet people with different views and walks of life and that is, of course, a main part of the reason why I am on Couchsurfing !

\ Please before contacting us, be aware that my partner Florent and I don't live exactly near Paris but in the far suburbs in the countryside.
There are only two trains per hour maximum to go to Paris Gare du Nord and it is a 45 minutes travel.
Our place is great for people who want to discover France, not only Paris. /

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel light and spontaneously, mind open. To meet inspiring people from around the world and discover new cultures. To go out of my comfort zone and expand my horizon. To share my home and help you discover the very beauty of France and my region in the countryside, not only Paris.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am very eclectic about arts.
I listen a lot of Scandinavian metal, rock, folk, etc. bands : Glittertind, Árstíðir, Sonata Arctica, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Ensiferum, Amon Amarth, etc. As well several types of electronic, world, pagan and classical music. I hope I could play the handpan one day.

About the movies I love science fiction, biopics, Xavier Dolan's movies, etc.
I have in mind : 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, Black Mirror, Battlestar Galactica, Legends of the Fall, Northanger Abbey, Les Visiteurs (very popular French comedy)...

Everything about Tolkien and Pratchett. Sade, French classics and epistolary novels such as Les Liaisons Dangereuses, French and Scandinavian detective novels...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having a wonderful sauna on Helsinki coast then swimming many times in the Baltic Sea by night in the middle of winter. Same story in a frozen lake during a crowded and typical sauna in Tampere. It was unexpectedly divine !
I know, for a Finn it is not impressive at all !

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to have deep conversations about almost everything.
To me it is always challenging, refreshing and rewarding to feel a gap, cultural, political or about the ways of living for instance, and sharing about our personal values, mind open.

I am particuliary aware and passionate about environmental issues and I have the chance to live in a village inside a natural parc, not so far from Paris.

I love chilling around a beer and laughing hard as well !

Don't hesitate to tell me what you want to experiment in France !

What I Can Share with Hosts

My good mood, deep and rich talks about almost everything, my knowledge of the environnemental, climatic and social issues.
Having a good meal and play some video games or simple but fun board games.
A good French beer, wine, meal and of course a lot of fine tea ! (I have so much tea I can almost open a tea room. Actually more than 50 different teas...)
