I work in Paris as a research scientist and a lecturer.
I love Paris, because it's a real cosmopolitan city, where you meet so different kind of people. So, when I am not traveling, welcoming people from other countries is like making a trip without leaving my couch ;)
I am also a saxophonist player in a Parisian jazz band. So, if you want to listen to real good music (even if it's not ours) don't hesitate to ask me !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my studies, I lived in an International campus. I loved this experience, where I met so many different people, from different countries and with so various cultures.
So, I would like to live again this kind of experience.
Also, during my different trips, I have always been kindly welcomed by locals and I would like to offer the same to others, visiting Paris, France or Europe.
