Born and raised in Paris, I started to travel the world after my studies and arrived in Canada 18 years ago.
Hopelessly curious, open-minded, I am a great lover of ideas, the arts and travels off the beaten path.
Epicurean, I like to laugh, debate interesting subjects, share good moments with interesting people.
After years of receiving people on our couch, I had to reopen a profile (because of one creepy stalker living in Vancouver Island and Couchsurfing didn't seem to care...), so all my good references are gone now, sorry about that, I can send you my real name and give you more details when needed.

Unfortunately, for totally understandable reasons, I am not accepting coachsurfers during the Coronavirus crisis.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To discover new places and new people. Passion for other cultures.
Meet interesting people. Curiosity.

We are not accepting guests during the pandemic, sorry!
