Hello/Hallo/Bom dia !

My name is Elie (he/him), born 28 years ago under the sun of south of France, but currently living in Paris. I am doing a PhD in Political Science there, conducting researches about Brazilian politics (and more especially, about Brazilian far right !).

I am a very friendly gemini guy who enjoys gemini stuff : reading a lot, watching a lot of movies, going out to dance all night long, hearing people's story and traveling as much as possible ! I am also a human right activist, trying to fight against all kinds of discrimination.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a member of the community since 2017 and I lived incredible moments all over Europe and in Brazil thanks to the people who had the kindness to host me !

Friendship and hospitality are my two fundamental values in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Due to my academic activities, I do read a lot : mostly political essays, but also novels and sometimes poetry. I guess my favorite authors would be Annie Ernaux or Guillaume Dustan !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Founding the love of my life in Rio de Janeiro five years ago !

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very talkative, so it would be a pleasure to hear your stories, what amazing things you've done in your life.... Of course I can teach your some French words, but also make you discover French food and culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Feeling what german people usually call "Geborgenheit" : a cosy feeling which mixes security, peace and wellness :)
