Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Keep the faith about CS ( full time job )
ABOUT ME
1st important thing : I'm not in PARIS . I'm like 35 minutes or so from central Paris ( to be more specific from Saint-Lazare which is close to Opéra ) and my place is just few meters from station to reach Paris .
For a quicker communication I like to use Whatsapp ( + 33695458602 ) , FB or Skype .
This is how my profile looked like before : https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/238124/profile/legacy
Now something I added since CS changed so lot and it becomes crazy , so sorry U have to read this but this is for the good of both of US :)
So as messages are not easy to handle and sometimes they get lost , if U wanna have a couch , send me a REQUEST not a message !!!
I'm usually a very nice guy , and I take time to reply to everyone but what I expect is U are interested at least a bit about sharing , not only a place to crash , because if I say " YES " to a request , I'll never let U down and will do it well , but the least U can do is to read few things about me , my home , profile ( even if it's just for U ) , when I host someone is because I want to , I don't need to get more references ( Mean I don't it for this ) and it does not even help me when I want to be hosted anyway !!!
If U are brave enough U'll read the whole profile and U have 2 things U can write in your request the 1st one is :
Get the mother fucker on the phone ! The 2nd one is somewhere else on the profile :)))))))))
For me , the request is one thing but I'm not crazy about them , which means I trust my intuition/feelings so , the only I care about is to know if U read about me , where I'm and if U are interested by meeting me , and if I like your profile , then it can work with a simple but nice request :) Like anything for me : It's about quality not quantity !
I'm someone curious about people and what life , conversations can bring me and teach me . I prefer in anything quality more than quantity, that's the reason why i have few but real friends. I like to listen and observe, to laugh and make laugh. Sometimes I'm serious , sometimes I'm a bit crazy . I'm open-minded but I'm also extreme in my points of view . I have contradictions (maybe more than the average) and I'm aware of them like to take some concrete example : I like high-tech things and at same time I'm old school (like to write letters ) . I'm tryin' to understand myself and others more and more each day.
PHILOSOPHY
Every day is an opportunity to learn something new, it can be anything !
Quality over quantity
Experience more
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As I'm interested for real for people , stories ( I do have lot of them ) , becoming a CS member was something truly natural , and now I'm also moderator from the Emergency CS requests for Paris , which means as well some more stories , and learning more about psychology :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've been on the website since 2006 and I have to say each CS experience is different and U can learn from it . About people , about yourself when U are really experienced or just a beginner .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
the craziest thing i've done is when i was about 4 or 5 I was in love with an old woman (25) and she was about to leave from Reims to go to Paris (200km maybe) and I wanted to get married and follow her, so I took a small suitcase and some toys, and I escaped from home to follow her, my parents almost died when they couldn't find me. I guess in general, I've always made or can make crazy things for people I love or care.
The 2nd thing I've done which is quite amazing is I've played the tourist guide in my favourite city in CZ , Olomouc for a czech girl who was living very close in a small city close to Brno ! Interesting experience !
