Hi, I'm Alexandre, Diego, Manuel, Paul ( ID says) I'm French and Puerto Rican, living in Versailles.

Sometimes my friends and I make some idiotic movies for the fun of it, sometimes more seriously so. And we also make a little bit of music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel like I have a lot to share.

And I guess I just like the idea.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tonkotsu Ramen

Teach, Learn, Share

Most of all, I can teach you how to swim like Ian Thorpe and take pictures like Pablo Larrain.
One of those, I really can. It's for you to decide which one.

Apart from that, anything I know, I will gladly share.

If you've got any insight on chamanism or transcendental meditation, I'm interested !

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything from idiocy to impertinent philosophy, maybe a little bit of sense here and there.

I enjoy cooking but not all day long.

I won't list here all the things I like to do because that would be very stupid.
As far as location goes :

proximity to
-Versailles Palace Park
-swimming pool
-market place
-train station leading to paris

In the apartment you will find :

lots of books in french, english and spanish
lots of dvds
some cds
lots of different spices
a piano, two guitars and some percussions

I'd be very happy to show you around, anything you'd like to see.
Of course, my main hangout places in Paris are movie theaters but there are lots of other things to do as you can imagine.
