I'm an agicultural engineer and language teacher and translator living in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. I grew up in Belgium but my family's been in Côte d'Ivoire for three generations.

My wife, Chantal, is an Ivorian folk dancer and drummer. She's also an excellent cook !

Our 4-year old daughter, Ruth, is as active as cute, she loves playing with all our guests !

We also live with Chantal's villager niece who helps us with the housework, and our little shy cat.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Travelling to Africa is always an adventure, and never easy. Anyone wanting to discover my country of Côte d'Ivoire is welcome to my place !

Centres d'intérêt

I love board games, I organize board games events once a month in Abidjan and also like wargaming and role-playing games.
If you fancy a game of Mario Kart or Bloodbowl, I'm also your man ;)
