Hi, I’m Lauren, i was born and raised in Paris. Passionated about history, I’m glad to live in Paris, because this city is full of testimony of the past. I like litterature and poetry as well. Learning new things each day makes me happy :) so I read a lot in many topics. I’m the kind of person who read 6 books at the same time. In my opinion, the key of happiness is being happy with simple things : nice perfumes of nature in the woods, funny clouds in the sky, Sunday morning brunch at home in cozy atmosphere, picnic by the river with a friend, crossing a nice bridge in Paris, paying attention to the details of the architecture of a city ....

I like to get to know people and I’m very interested about people telling me their own story. If you come to my place I will be very happy to have interesting discussions with you and to share with you my passion about my beloved city, full of secret details.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing allows me to travel while I stay here in Paris.
I would be very pleased to meet some people from of all over the world to go to exhibition in Paris, or eating some good food in french restaurants! I could show you my favorite places of the city.
