CURRENT MISSION

To become a host and an explorer of the 21st century

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded, curious and friendly person living in Paris and I would enjoy meeting people from different background and various places in the world. I like cooking à la française and I would love to learn new foreign and exotic recipes, to share conversations about many topics (culture, current affairs, politics, arts) and exchange different visions of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn to share and share to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host surfers for a fiew days and show them around Paris both in a cultural and social perspective.

Interests

Travels, conversations (especially in foreign languages but French is ok if one prefers), history, arts, architecture, current affairs, music (French chanson, jazz, latin, rock and blues...).
I play a little guitar and sometimes sing songs from the French répertoire (like Brassens, a funny, deep and poetic song-writer) and love the joys of latin dances such as salsa and tango.
Languages: I've been studying arabic for two years and I'm fascinated by middle and far east civilizations.
