Bonjour, I’m Raphaël 😀

I’m a Paris area-based traveler and photography lover who’s always curious to meet new people and discover new cultures. When I’m not behind a camera or planning my next trip, I enjoy showing others around my city, from the big landmarks to the hidden corners.

I’m LGBT and LGBT-friendly 🌈, open-minded, and I love practicing languages (Spanish, Arabic, and more). I work from home mostly, so I might be busy at times, but I’ll always try to help with your visit, whether it’s tips on what to do or where to go, or what food to try. I also enjoy a walk or a drink together.

For me, Couchsurfing is about connections, conversations, laughs, and little memories that last longer than the trip. And yes, I do collect magnets from every country 🗺️🤗.
