What's the story? I'm Rémi, a curious and creative human, always happy to meet new people. I love making photos / portraits, playing music, designing logos / websites and going on adventures! I grew up and studied in France, before spending 6 years of my life in lovely Dublin (Ireland). Now (2023) I'm recently back from a year in NZ and I don't think I'll ever stop travelling... Let's connect :) http://remiparnaud.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has always be my favourite way to meet cool people over the years! I just love serendipity...

Interests

I'm a poly-creative person with a strong focus on photography (http://www.fortyfivedegree-studio.com/) and music (https://soundcloud.com/plancharoulette). I like to accumulate lenses and instruments as much as meaningful encounters and portraits. I also love skateboarding and all balance sports. Most of all I really appreciate a good story.
