ABOUT ME

I like to define myself as an hedonist traveling cook. I mean, I would like to be an hedonist traveling cook. I live in Paris, where I am copywriter in advertising when I'm not traveling around and meeting new people. I had a on year traveling experience in 2015, and I travel South East Asia and South America. Since I come back, I just can wait to go back on the road.

I am a nature lover, friendly and openminded, a pretty good cook, a wine and beer drinker, a cinema addict, a huge books reader, a game cards gamer, and I'm always ready for new adventures. Easygoing, quite funny actually and buena onda (as Columbians said) - that's how people describe me.

PHILOSOPHY

"Hey, let's grab a beer!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is the best way I found to meet new people and get and authentic vision of the different countries I visited. It's also a pretty cool way to make new friends, as almost every single couchsurfer I hosted in my flat still remain good friends of mine :)

To me, Couchsurfing is not about saving money (as I used to spend more money on food and drinks when I am with couchsurfer than alone in a room), but much more about meeting people, understanding the way people live, and about sharing experiences, life moments, souvenirs and good times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a few couchsurfing experiences in Paris, trying to welcome people from all the around the world in my tiny parisian flat. All of those experiences were incredibly rich in everything: learning, parties, alcohol, discovering... I definitely enjoyed my time with:

Quentin from Baton Rouge, United States
Pamela and Logan from Victoria, Canada
Malith from Colombo, Sri Lanka
Tang from Hanoi, Vietnam
Victor from Puerto Montt, Chile
Francisco from Talca, Chile
Ramon from Valparaiso, Chile
Alberto from Cuzco, Peru
