I have a satisfying personal life with kids and wife.
I also need my time off.
"Off" means simple things : speak foreign languages, meet true character / genuine men and women from around the planet, help them as much as I can discovering Paris.
After years in Communications, Product design and Consulting (change management) I am now a happy social worker : I run a residence for 200 homeless (singles and families) in Paris 16th arrondissement.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Precisely, at this stage, I don't know.
I see it's a powerful tool to get in touch :).

Interests

Too many too list ! It might be a problem sometimes: just can't help being curious and opened minded to new situations, different cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Citadelle, Saint Exupéry
Any quality music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Invented an audio headset with no contact with the ear. Patented in Europe ...

Teach, Learn, Share

Music (I play the cello, we have a piano home) ; dance (with any music we can dance on :) ; cook whatever we have in the fridge and make a meal to my guest and surprise them ! ; read a play together ; rehearse ; get the best views of Paris ; take pictures (I own a 1950', Hasselblad) ; ...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share what WE can share.
I am ... pretty good at it :)
Hope you are too !
I bring "something", you bring "something" different, we exchange in a fraternal way. So, WE share.
