Hello! I’m Gabriel, a French traveler with a backpack and a mission: to explore the stunning landscapes of New Zealand, one breathtaking view at a time. I’ve already roamed around Europe and North America, but now it’s time to conquer Middle Earth.

I’m all about swapping stories, and sharing experiences. I’m keen to hear your tales of travel and life too !

When I’m not hiking through forests or hunting for the best fish and chips, you’ll find me chatting about the joys of travel, the quirks of different cultures, or just enjoying the moment. I’m easygoing, curious, and always up for a laugh.

Looking forward to meeting amazing people and making unforgettable memories on this Kiwi adventure. If you’re up for some fun conversations and possibly a clumsy attempt at learning your favorite local activity, let’s connect!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m looking to connect with awesome hosts to share moments, learn about local culture, and experience New Zealand through the eyes of the people who know it best. Plus, let’s be real—backpacking isn’t always cheap, so Couchsurfing helps me stretch my budget while making meaningful connections. It’s a win-win!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, I hitchhiked across Florida with a friend, only to discover later it was illegal! Oops maybe that’s why we struggled a bit ahah. Another time, I road-tripped through Iceland’s winter, camping in a van while battling blizzards and freezing nights. Both adventures were wild, a bit risky, but absolutely unforgettable!
