Happy to live, trying to enjoy every moment of life. And idealistic, too. Maybe too much? I actually changed careers to do research in economics after I became convinced there was something really wrong in our monetary system. Number one rule: love thy neighbour as yourself. Living in central Paris, close to the Pantheon.

CURRENT MISSION Visiting as many awkward places as possible; hosting nice CSurfers ABOUT ME I am retired from French adminsitration, well cultured, well travelled. I would define myself as an intellectual. And don't ask me about the last football match results. PHILOSOPHY Take what comes. Enjoy the moment.

Hola a todos! Soy Mauro! Tengo 39 años. Soy Argentino. Es difícil describirse a uno mismo, pero mis amigos y los que me conocen dicen que soy buena gente, open-minded, generoso, demasiado confiado y que se como disfrutar de la vida. Y realmente creo que es una descripción adecuada. Creo que es posible vivir en un mundo más justo para todos. Creo que cada uno de nosotros debemos dar batallas diarias para tratar de ser cada vez mejores personas. Una frase que me gusta mucho es "Vivir solo cuesta vida".

CURRENT MISSION I am planning to sail around the world as much as I can ⛵️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you come, I will ask you to cook something for us and to organize the ingredients. (Even better if its something from your country)☀️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ABOUT ME Currently living in Paris, I work as a nurse ( many hours a day ) but then when It comes to enjoy my free time… hard to catch me😋 I love sports ( surfing, skiing, going to the gym, yoga, dancing…), I am interested in art and eager to explore more of my potentiels in painting, drawing, playing music and more… In the other hand I also love travelling when I decide to take more days ( cause yes I make my own schedule, working only when I want/need to 🙈 ). My favorite hobby at the moment is watching old wooden boats restoring for hours… Is there anyone like me out there ? 😂 Other than that I’m trying to be better everyday, avoiding food wasting or anything else that can not be re-used ... PHILOSOPHY Never a failure always a lesson...

Hey there, Couchsurfers! For all the gay guys using this to hook up; please keep in mind I am STRAIGHT I'm a software engineer bitten by the travel bug. When I'm not coding, I'm busy planning my next adventure, whether it's a quick weekend getaway or a journey to a distant locale. Nature lover, outdoor enthusiast, and proud Moroccan with a passion for our delicious cuisine. If you stay with me, you might get to savor some traditional Moroccan dishes or a cup of mint tea. I enjoy sharing meals and cultural experiences with fellow adventurers. Beyond food and travel, I'm a respectful, polite, and funny person, always open to connecting with people from different corners of the world. Whether through Couchsurfing or chance encounters, making meaningful connections is what life's all about. If you're up for new experiences and making friends, give me a shout – excited to meet you! Philosophy : You Only Live Once (YOLO) Life is too short . Never force yourself to be in a place where you are unhappy. Acquire experiences not things. Enjoy every moment in your life as if it's the last.

**READ MY PROFILE** and answer the questions I wrote If you don't read and answer I will simply refuse your request, so don't waste our time (The audacity of people copy pasting stuff like: "I read your profile, and blablabla" but don't answer any question 🤣) Simple life So, what you should know about me definitely wouldn't fit in a few lines and surely would be changing after I wrote it. But in any way, you should at least know that: I am french, born and raised in Paris, and I love my city For the way I grew up, with friends from everywhere and every style, I am what people say really tolerant, with my own moral, somehow very open minded (being open-minded doesn't automatically mean that I want to engage in gay sex, thank you for understanding that, guys, I am straight, no chance 😂. Yes, I have to make it clear because I have a lot of messages like this. And still receive requests with gay innuendos because yeah apparently lot of gays have a kink for straight guys, hoping they can make them crack and just can't hold.... Ah men men men.. ). Since covid era, I learned to enjoy the most of time and life, been spending more time with friends and traveling, chilling, partying (I love techno, been to all kind of underground parties) === As for hosting, I receive a lot of requests for couch, and it is important that you read my profile, or it will simply be denied. I think it is important for us, to make the stay an enjoyable stay, because you don't want to be hosted by someone you don't fit with, and I'm not on CS to be a free hostel. Surely, having a free bed is a good thing, but that wouldn't make the whole thing of CS. It's about connecting people. If you make a request for 2 people, I'd like you tell me more about your fellow companion than just referring to as "my girlfriend" or "John". It's important for me to know the people that plan to be staying under the same roof as me! It is important to know that we live together for a few days, so as much as it is important for you to find a nice host, it is important for me to welcome quality guests with who I can click Also, to make it clear so I don't have to ask systematically, and to have more chances of being accepted, in your request you should tell me (and this would be also good for your other requests ;) : Your arrival and departure time Who is your travel companion, if not a link to CS with reference, at least a link to another social network What are your plans in Paris ? Why should we spend time together and why I should host you ? If you have data on your phone or just wifi (practical to know, so many problems happened because my surfers didn't think to warn me they couldn't reach me after arriving in France) If your CS profile really lacks of content, that's not a good point. Please fill it before, make some efforts =) === You can check my IG @eliems

CURRENT MISSION To enjoy life to the fullest and meeting cool people! ABOUT ME So back in Toronto, and loving every minute of it :) Although I miss Paris a lot!!!!... So if you are new to CS, I will not host you. I cannot make this any more clear if you are a male: you need to have references and been vouched for! What i expect from my CSers is : - to keep the apartment clean - to switch off the lights in the un-used rooms - to wash glasses and dishes that they use - to not monopolize the bathroom, I would appreciate if you bring your own towels and soap, toothpaste, shaving gel... - to understand I won't provide all the food what my guests expect from me is : - advices for the best places to see in Paris - to respect their privacy - to make their journey in Paris unforgettable ^__^ ------------------------------- GOING TO CANADA FROM THE 5th of AUGUST TO THE 22nd AND I CANNOT HOST ANYONE!!!!!!! -------------------------------- MY NUMBER IS * 07.61.45.06.51 ONLY SMS ME CALL IF URGENT if you are AMERICAN or CANADIAN, you most certainly WILL get a couch! ------------------------------------------------------ IF YOU ARE ARE GOING TO MAKE A REQUEST TO STAY WITH ME PLEASE MAKE AN OFFICIAL COUCH REQUEST, I RECEIVE TOO MANY PRIVATE MESSAGES AND CANNOT KEEP TRACK OF ALL OF THEM ------------------------------------------------------ Only Accepting requests for after the 25th of JUNE 2011! Anything before then WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED! Copy and Paste messages, will not BE REPLIED TOO AT ALL! I do not host couples! Gay friendly, so all you homo's do not hesitate to send me a request ;D Also, is it not polite at least to bring something to your host? Maybe a bottle of wine, a loaf of bread, just something to thank him or her for hosting you. I might be delusional but I think that is the polite thing to do, even if you are on a tight budget. I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE ANY MANNERS AND DO NOT EVEN HAVE THE COURTESY TO SAY GOOD MORNING! SO FROM NOW ON, IF YOU HAVE NO MANNERS YOU GET THE BOOT! Haha sorry, but my last cs'ers really pissed me off! Promise I am a good guy :) IF YOU WANT TO STAY HOME AND DO NOTHING THAN I AM NOT THE GOOD HOST FOR YOU!!!!!! IF, ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU WANT TO GO OUT AND HAVE FUN THEN WE ARE A PERFECT MATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I just finished my degree at my university in Canada and now I am off to France for the summer! I usually spend most summers in Paris. My aunt travels during the summer and leaves me her apartment which is centrally located in Paris. situated near metro dupleix (line 6) and a 20 minute walk to the eiffel tower! I like going to museums, discussing about almost anything, and of course like anybody my age, I do enjoy having some drinks and going out! I love cooking as well, and just hanging around and having a good time. I would be more than happy to show you around the city, I know the city pretty well :) It would be my pleasure to go to museums with you, etc.. however I will not go to the eiffel tower lol- I have seen it too many times-just like Niagra Falls in Canada!!! I only have two conditions: 1- you gotta be down to PARTY, I mean it is Paris you have to discover Paris by night! To not go out in Paris would be akin to not visiting the famous landmarks and museums in Paris 2- Please be respectful, pick up after yourself and have a positive attitude :) On my end I promise to be a good host, fun, outgoing, respectful and show you what Paris has to offer :) visited 12 states (5.33%)Create your own visited map of The World PHILOSOPHY Be nice to other people, and always be polite and courteous! And most of all enjoy the local food and get to know the local culture and people! Oh and definitely explore the museums, restaurants and the night life of any city you go to!
