After three years trying to settle down in Paris, I recently moved in Hamburg. It took me a while to learn to love Paris and as soon as I successed in I left it! With Hamburg I direct fell in love, so I'm now curious to see how it will go staying here longer... :)

After having used Couchsurfing only as a surfer for a while, I really kept enjoying the experience as a host, and loved to show Paris to my guests, which allowed me to know more and more my city and to like it a bit deaper every day!

Now in Hamburg I'm unfortunately not as confortable to host people as I don't have anymore spare room, but I'm still keen on meeting new people :) And if any travelers are ok to share a tiny room and sleep on the floor, you're welcome to write me a request :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is a gorgious idea to meet local people and make of your travel a totally different experience, especially in the western countries, where the unbidden hospitality isn't anymore something usual. I confess I've started couchsurfing for economic motivations but now I know that I wouldn't travel differently even if I was a millionaire! So I don't mind that people start using couchsurfing as a free place to crash, if it let them the chance to discover how much more it is.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: no big knowleges about, but would say more country, folk, rock, than metal, electro, or opera neither.. But always happy to discover new stuff though.

Books: I read meanly graphic novels (Lewis Trondheim, Joan Sfar, Guy Delisle...), I used to read a lot of travel book, but since my long trip, they weirdly don't let me dream as much. Harry Potter of course, as a main part of my generation ;)
.
Movies: (just a few as exemples): Amelie, Le Chocolat, Once, About time, Lullaby, Gadjo Dilo, Joyeux Noel, inception, The sound of music, Harry Potter, old french movies by Marcel Pagnol...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Make real a dream I had for so many years, which was living my country by fair-means toward the east... and keep going east till reaching back home from the other side, becoming aware by this way that the Earth is round!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning foreign languages, mainly those I already know a bit, but even any else. I would be glad to teach french and love talk, learn and laugh about languages. I love learning cooking as well. Actually I quite like learning in general, and learning by listening others is maybe not the best way but for sure my favourite! I love sharing travel stories, different traditions and so on. As a host, I love make discover Paris, I like having foreigner's point of view of my city, my culture, my lifestyle. It helps me to keep open-minded, and to not forget how lucky I am.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good talks, good food, good experiences.. At least that's what I hope !
As a guest, I can sleep anywhere, even just on the ground in a corridor, I don't mind, I'm really easy about that. Every experience has its part of charm!
And as a host, unfortunatly not much place, but good advices about hamburg :)
