Hi!

My name is Paul, I'm 27 years old. Passionate about travelling, hiking, surfing, photography and the outdoors. I grew up in Paris, then mooved to the french west coast for my studies. I was a science teacher from January to June 2024, and I'm back to studying outdoor textile design in September.

I am very curious, I love to discover new things, new landscapes, new music, learn new games. I love to share and exchange. That's why traveling is part of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and share. The best way to travel is to live with the locals.

As soon as I am settled at home, I want to welcome travelers

Interests

Passionate about nature and the outdoors, I am a fan of hiking, skiing and surfing. Overall I like to try all activities that are practiced in nature. I've done a bit of climbing, alpinism and sailing.

I also like music. I play a little bit of piano, I would like to get back to it more seriously to have more than 2 pieces to play.

I also do a little bit of photography. Mostly nature photography.

I am interested in art, cinema, culture. I don't know much about it but I really want to discover and learn in these fields.
