ABOUT ME

Caring and curious about lots of things, I like to spend good time having a laugh as much as deep conversations. I live on my own in a flat near Paris. I am gay, not that it should matter much.

PHILOSOPHY

I prefer to trust and be sometimes deceived, than never trust and always miss opportunities.
Sharing and being instead of consuming and having.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been a member of hospitalityclub for years before CS. I have hosted quite a number of people in Paris. Not only HC or CS members, but friends and family, or their friends and families... I have used HC and CS on some of my trips, to be hosted or just to chat and see around.
