We are a couple living in Paris., In "La Plaine Saint-Denis" to be precise.

We have both couchsurfed and have hosted people before (check out our individual profiles; Cecilie Holdt Rude and Gary Pierre-Louis) but are now creating a common profile for hosting.

Gary is programming Android Apps, Cecilie is working for UNESCO with education and sustainability

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We dont have much holidays and when we have some time to travel, we like to meet local people and experience as much as possible. When we dont have holidays we appreciate instead to have guest and couchsurfers on visit so we still can meet new people and experience new ways of being.

Interests

We love biking, cooking, experiencing new cuisines with friends, going to second hand markets, dancing salsa, cross-country skiing, DIY-stuff, going to concerts and also traveling.
