ABOUT ME

Hep ! Baptiste speaking, living in Paris now after some time spent far north in Norway. I have a room to offer in Paris, and I can also tell you about cool underground places here, if you want to escape the intense tourist flow..

After having worked as a civil engineer, I am now a musician and songwriter, spending most of my time either on the road doing concerts, or on the road enjoying life, finding inspiration by meeting new people and discovering new places.

Feel free to ask me if you need any assistance while you're in Paris. I live right in the center, in the heart of Quartier Latin, 10 minuts walking from Notre Dame, and good bars all around my home !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from all around the world !
