ABOUT ME

After 4 years off from Couchsurfing, here I am back :-)

I spent my last years working and studying in France. After nearly 2 years in Paris, a year in my hometown Nantes and 3 years in Brittany (Vannes), I live in Lyon area since 2015.

I took a break from humanitarian field abroad for studying coaching and psychology. Such fascinating fields!

It took me years to understand that am a CouchSurfer!

Before , I was working for an Non Governemental Organization called "Doctors Without Borders" or MSF (Medecins Sans Frontieres). Even if sometimes this work was a bit hard and dangerous, I loved it and learned so much about myself and others!

The last years It was more about an internal journey I would say. I read books about spirituality, went to seminars, share with different practitioners to get to know me and life better. Still working on it everyday. Everyday is an opportunity for sharing, learning and to give thanks to life. I consider that we are all masters and students. We all have charismas.

My last trips were:

- 2014: Spain: walking on El Camino de Santiago
- 2015: Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina; discovering the countries and working on archeological sites
- 2016: Italy - Roma, Napoli, Firenze, Sorento, Milano, Sicilia
- 2017: England
- 2018: Seychelles and Switzerland
- 2019: Greece
- 2023: Medjugorje
- 2024: Lourdes

See you soon ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing, discovering, learning, giving, receiving.

I got the best trips of my life by meeting Couchsurfers abroad. I am here because I believe in the CS Community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew in Democratic Republic of Congo and I am still alive!

We set up a cholera camp in South Sudan in a mines field located in the bush, unsafe territory, surrounded by militaries and without any proper means of communication...but we managed!

I have rarely seen such team spirit like during my mission in Haiti.

Colombians dancing salsa (even on the roads!) in Cali.

I can teach french to people interested. I can try to fix your car if you are in need (lol). I can teach you many african moves (Ivoirian, Congolese, Cameroonese, West Indies, etc.)
