ABOUT ME

I spend 13 years living in different countries as a NGO worker (Haïti, Cambodia, Madagascar) am now back in Madagascar for a private company in vanilla business.

Please note that i live in Sambava and the Sava region is the only area that i really know in Madagascar, so please don't ask me what to do and where to go in the all island cause am not a tour operator and i have no idea what you should do, but if you already plan to come in Sava region, be my guest!

PHILOSOPHY

the more you know, the less you need...
am not a philosoph, defintely, but i saw this above a naked surfer drawn on a paper and i liked the meaning, it appeared that it's an Aborigen citation, anyway...
Fonzie also has good citation!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted several travelers in Madagascar where i lived 6 years, but i just had one surfing experience in Thaïland in 2011 and it was really nice to discover bangkok with a Thaï and not as a simple tourist (thanks Nuch)
All experiences were good for the moment and am still in touch with some CS who became friends now.
