Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Find places to stay throughout the world for my girlfriend and I. Every night we are hosted by a couchsurfer we will donate €10 in Asia, €20 in the rest of the world to our charity, Aroonii, which will use the funds to finance small-scale local social and development projects around the world.

ABOUT ME
I grew up in Los Angeles, but I've been living in Paris for 15+ years, where I finished high school, went to college and have been working for the past 12 years.
My girlfriend, Stéphanie, grew up in different cities in France (Alsace, Normandy, Lille).
I am currently traveling the world with my girlfriendh, a trip during which we are eager to meet new people and do some good!
PHILOSOPHY
I'm not religious at all, definitely a fervent atheist, but I do believe that you should do onto others as you would like them to do unto you, respect your fellow human being and be open to new experiences
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Right now I can't host, because our apartment is too small, but we are about to embark on a trip around the world and are looking for places to stay along the way!
Other wise, I'm native in French and English and know Paris pretty well, I'm free to meet up for coffee/drinks to meet new people, help out in Paris, whatever I can do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Right now traveling the world, and trying to help small-scale local NGOs one night at a time: on top of participating in organisation's activities, every time someone hosts us, we will be giving some of the money we've saved by not going to a hotel to our nonprofit, Aroonii, to fund social and development projects!
Teach, Learn, Share
Bilingual in French and English, I can teach a little bit of either.
A treasure trove of totally impractical almost useless knowledge on history, 70s-90s music, TV shows, politics...
What I Can Share with Hosts
We can share our experiences traveling and a good time!
