Curious mind, open heart, decent cook. I’m Paul, French, now living in Madrid after a few years in Switzerland and France. I work remotely in tech and love wandering through cities with no fixed plan, just the hope of stumbling upon a great coffee or an unexpected story.

A few years ago I spent two months traveling across the US and met some amazing people through Couchsurfing. It completely changed how I see travel. I’ve also hosted many kind and interesting guests when I lived in Montpellier, and I loved the mix of cultures and spontaneous exchanges it brought into my life.

I’m here for connection, not just a place to crash. I enjoy deep conversations, local food, good music, and exploring new ideas. If we cross paths, let’s make it count.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people I wouldn’t meet otherwise. I had amazing experiences both hosting and traveling through Couchsurfing. I enjoy sharing more than just a place to sleep. Stories, meals, laughs, and different ways of seeing the world.

Interests

Traveling without a strict plan. Walking for hours in new cities. Music that makes you feel something. Good coffee. Deep conversations. Exploring cultures through food. Hosting people and hearing their stories. Finding hidden gems. Learning languages. Getting lost and being totally fine with it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love pop, electronic, reggaeton and old French classics. I enjoy smart films, fun series and stories that stick. I read light fiction and essays. Always curious to hear your favorites.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good conversation, a chill atmosphere, and a real interest in connecting. I can cook something simple and tasty, share travel stories, help with French or Spanish, and show you around if time allows. I always try to make guests feel at home.
