CURRENT MISSION

to show people the best of paris

ABOUT ME

after years of trying to leave london, i finally got a job (which i quit in october 2014!) in paris and haven't looked back once. it's one of the best cities in the world and i want to share it with anyone wanting to feel the way i do about it. while i'd be delighted to share any knowledge i have of paris with whoever will listen, my favourite thing to do here is eat great food and frequent the wine/cocktail bars and hidden gems of the city, especially in hotels.

PHILOSOPHY

do what i enjoy doing with people i enjoy spending time with!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have only ever couchsurfed once as i was lucky enough to stay in hotels for free with my old job, although i have hosted many people at my place(s) in paris and have made met some great people and made some lifelong friends. i'm always happy to host if i can and show people around one of the greatest cities on the planet :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

i'm not a huge music buff but i'll listen to most things...more into calmer, chilled music than hard rock or dance music

i mainly watch independent movies about, or based on, real life...not a big action/science fiction/fantasy/special effects fan...to give you an idea one of my favourite films is 'garage' by lenny abrahamson

i have a pretty big book collection on many subjects...i enjoy a good classic novel, especially american literature. i read a lot on north korea and scandinavia but also have books on many other topics such as travel, food and drink, art, design, fashion, hotels, history, language...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

going on safari in south africa - not only seeing the animals but meeting the friendliest people in the world!
