French guy in his thirties who loves to travel (no kidding) and discover new places and faces and food.
I work in a tech startup in Paris, and spend most of my free time at the movies and concerts.
I also try to play a little bit of music (guitar and bass). I am not so good at it but I find it a good way to blow off some steam. One day I will learn how to play the piano.
Not really a sports guy, even though I really enjoy playing tennis and badminton (and once upon a time volleyball but quite frankly I don't really remember how it's played now 😅).

I'm currently taking a sabbatical and am driving around Europe in my van, so I won't be able to host anyone before 2020 when I'm back home.
On the other hand, if anyone can offer a hot shower during my trip, I'd gladly accept!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It turns out meeting with locals is the best way to discover a city, and I find it fulfilling to share with people with various backgrounds and experiences and stories.
When I travel I don't necessarily couchsurf, I am mostly looking for hosts that might be available to show me around or at least with whom I could spend a little bit of time. Otherwise I might as well go to a hostel ☺️
Also I am hosting in Paris because I believe travelers don't have to spend so much money for their accommodations. And of course whenever I am available I like to offer what I expect when I am traveling myself: a little bit of my time to discuss and walk around the city and maybe share a meal and/or a drink.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Converting a van into a campervan, without any previous appropriate skill or knowledge.
It might not sound that amazing to you, but to me it does!

I am not much of a cook but I can prepare a good ol' ratatouille 😊
