Hi!

I'm a french journalist living in Lyon. After 20 years in Paris I decided it was time to move south for new opportunities. I arrived in autumn 2016, I'm still a bit new here but I get to know the city every day.

I'm living right in the center of Lyon. I have a spacious apartment with one double bed on the mezzanine for the surfer (I have my own room). It's comfortable.

Personnally I'm interested in culture (rock music, art, alternative cultures...) and in travelling. I backpacked a lot in Asia, I'm a big fan of Japan. Its' been 10 years I have been working on traditional crafts.

I'm hosting people depending on my travels, but don't hesitate to drop an email.

Cheers!
Pascal

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling personally (mostly backpacking) and I travel also for work, when I have to go abroad to do some features.
This is a great opportunity not only to discover new cities but also to meet new people and exchange ideas, informations.
