About Me

I'm a 28-year-old French-New Zealander who worked as a TV journalist in Auckland for 4 years but now work full time on my own projects and businesses: a sustainable hat company called Offcut, a global forest to offset Trump's stupidity called Trump Forest, and a small PR business. I've co-directed two climate change documentaries for the UN and have been fortunate enough to travel all over the world to some incredible places. The most memorable thing is always the extraordinary people I've met along the way.

My best friend Dan, a climate scientist, and I are soon to embark on a trip through Europe for two months before going to the US for a few weeks, and then move to SE Asia to work on Offcut. Hope to see you somewhere along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've couchsurfed all throughout Europe and have hosted people in New Zealand from all over the world. To me, Couchsurfing is one of the best ways to meet incredible people and share stories, food, and cultures!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived for three weeks with a family of coffee producers in northern Peru, a few kilometers from Ecuador, in the middle of absolute nowhere (ex-Amazonia), with no electricity or hot water, in a house made of mud, and worked with them. It was amazing by all definitions of the word.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some French and how to play didgeridoo. As to learning, I love learning new things so hit me.
