My name is Maxime, i am 28. I work as a bookseller in a art BookStore in Paris
I have two great passions in life: travel and literature.

I travel when I have the chance, alone and preferably at least one month.

I went in India. For 4 months, I visited twenty cities, met so many people ... Only improvisation. legendary trip. I was hosted by 5 persons there thanks to couchsurfing. This is an extraordinary opportunity.

I like walking through nature. I hiked in Tuscany, from Siena to Florence, it is one of the most beautiful trip I have made. Meeting people by chance, without couchsurfing, is also a fabulous thing.

I also undertook to discover France. Every other weekend I try to visit a new city. I discovered Marseille, Bordeaux, Anger, Strasbourg, Le Havre ...

I will be delighted to welcome you to Paris but:
ATTENTION : I only accept urgent requests. My apartment is very small, there is no privacy at all. You really have to be aware of it. If you are in trouble one evening I might be able to help you. ( And I probably could not spend a lot of time to help you discover the city because of my work...)
I live in a studio in place of italy.

(I am a little bit shy at first but don't blame, be patient)

PHILOSOPHY

Having no destination, I am never lost. (Ikkyu)
