About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hiking in New Zealand !

ABOUT ME

I am a french guy enjoying life as much as possible. I worked for a few years in French Guyana in the Amazonian forest as a solar engineer. Then I took my chance for a 3 years world trip with my surfboard. Now living in Tahiti Island lost in the middle of pacific ocean. I paticularly like meeting people from everywhere, sharing moments, seeing great places...I am very friendly, sociable and very easy going. Don't hesitate to contact me for a drink or more...

PHILOSOPHY

Aloha! Your only brake is your mind set !
The world is not a giant and frighten place but many people who just wanna help you! Life is too short to don't stay positive ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many kind of music: reggae like max romeo, dub like high tone, lounge like stephane pompougnac, soft rock like radiohead, ska like la rue ketanou, local bands from everywhere...I really loved the butterfly effect ...I did not read much maybe because i did not use my left time doing it. Now I have more time and I really like it...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surfing with dolphins!!!Lost in a snowy hike in the Yosemite Nat Park with bears around! Climb twice up to 6000 meters! Sleeping on the top of an active volcan! Walking for hours on a lava field in the dark with hot lava spot! Being stop by whales when I was windsurfing !
