I'm a 66 years single and retired man, staying in Paris in summertime from May to October and in Kochin (India) in wintertime..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have welcomed home before indians, brazilians and people from Eastern Europe through another web site (Hospitality Club). As I have now a room mate, I cannot easily welcomed someone for the moment, but may be later.
My plan is , coming back from India next April, is to travel in Oman for two weeks.
But hotels there are expensive and as I'm allone and love to meet native people, I would like to find stays in Muscat and Dubai.

Interests

My interests are : music (writter and composer), photography around the world, history, astronomy, ecology , genealogy. I love animals but as I usually stay in India in winter time, I cannot have a pet (!) So contact me only in summertime from May to October.
