I have traveled all over the world throughout my busy working life
Now that I am retired it is a wonderful chance to expand my universe by meeting and learning people from different cultures ...
I am a reasonable old man, I am not really the partying type, don't count on me for all-night clubs, but I still have a young and open mind and can recommend good Parisian spots to you
I am very open to any political, religious, philosophical or sexual tendencies, except sectarianism, conspiracy and dogmatic way of life theories.
Curiosity is my vice...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is great! I've already met awesome people through couchsurfing and I definitely intend to meet more!
Each hosting experience for me must be a memorable, meaning I'm uninterested in just the conventional hosting method of providing free accommodation and nothing more.
I try and make sure my guests are very comfortable and have a great time throughout their stay under my roof
I mainly host, but sometimes i meet couchsurfers in the city for a meal or a drink or for visiting
I have always had excellent hosting experiences, many surfers have become very good friends
