I'm 29, and live in Paris where I work in Foreign affairs. Before that, I lived and worked in Copenhagen for a few years, and before that, I was studying literature.

Still most likely to be found in a café, drinking all the coffee and reading all the books.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I had my first couch surfing experiences in Austria and Italy in the summer of 2012, which were truly incredible. I've made some great friends and met some very fun people.

I'd be happy to meet fellow travellers passing through Paris.

Intereses

My favourite Parisian pastime is Lindy hop dancing, closely followed by yoga, brunch, coffee, and irregular running sessions. Visiting expos, culture, art, getting out the city for the weekend, hiking, chess. Recently started playing the piano again. Long late chats with wine, whisky and dancing. Passionate and angry debater of all things political.

Like most people here I love travelling, and this year I've been to Japan, Portugal, Spain and a few places in France.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

My next language project is learning Spanish, though this is in its very early stages...

I can teach how how to dance Lindy hop (a swing dance to 1930s jazz) and play a mean games of chess. Also, happy to help you practice English (or French!)

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

English, French, a good game of chess, lindy hop (swing dancing) and a very British sense of humour.
