Overview
About Me
Hi, I'm Léo, a software engineer living in Paris
Please read my profile and try to make a personalized message if you send me a request to stay. It's not much but it proves that you are on Couchsurfing to connect with people, not just to save money.
Also please note that I'm more in last minute request since I don't know my plans weeks or months in advance
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've lived 9 months in England and enjoyed talking to people from other cultures.
Since I moved to Paris, I found less opportunities to speak with foreigners, so here I am to meet up with new pals.
Also as mentioned in my interests, I love climbing and always up to find new partners. Especially since I'm planning to travel to countries with great climbing spots.
For my 25th birthday; I decided to go out of my comfort zone by travelling alone and without planning the trip in advance and be more on a day to day basis: The point being to never expect what will be going on next.
This decision brought me to Croatia, to the US for a road/rockclimbing trip from Denver to Phoenix and to Iran. Also I took 7 month in late 2019 to backpack through South America.
If I want to use couchsurfing during vacation, it's because I like to meet new people and share stories, I want to see how people actually live, not only the touristic places.
Now that I have my own place in Paris, I want to host people in order to give back to the community what it has offered me in my trips. And also because it's always nice to meet new people.
Interests
Well, I guess that the first thing to say for this part is CLIMBING: I climbed when I was a kid, but I really discovered it around two years ago, and for now I do indoor climbing around 2/3 times a week.
I've been playing drums for long time now, but I tend to play less since it's impossible to have one in Paris. I enjoy a lot rock metal music, mainly progressive one. I attend a lot of shows a year.
Also, I'm interested in rights equality: feminism, racism, homophobia.
I try to live an healthy life by reducing my consumption of meat, eating organic food, reduce my energy consumption.
Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite are bands like CloudkickerTool Karnivool orTesseract.
My favorite book is 1984, but I do enjoy read some B.E Ellis, Haruki Murakami and plenty of others.
I am easy crowd when it comes to movies: Fincher, Tarantino etc
