CURRENT MISSION

processing life and enjoying its potential

ABOUT ME

Arrived here in Martinique in 2009, by myself, with two luggages, without knowing anyone on the island. The only stuff I had was a job: civil servant engineer: I now work on land depollution.

Grew up in French Polynesia, and stayed six months in Brisbane (QLD, Australia) so I'm kind of addicted to tropics and sun.

Whatever your religion, your sexual orientation or your ethnical origins are, you'll still be welcome down here in Martinique.

I can make real bubbles with my mouth !

PHILOSOPHY

AUM

"Not to do evil, to cultivate merit, to purify one's mind - this is the Teaching of the Buddhas"
Dhammapada - verse 183

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Do my best to make the CS project live, and I really enjoy to welcome people down here in Martinique.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosting quite a few people so far, either by word-to-mouth, or through CouchSurfing, and I'm really happy to share my flat for a few days.

When I'm being hosted, I do my best not to disturb, and to help (cooking french stuff for example!), because I like when people who sleep at my place give me a hand for daily dutys.

Interests

Curious about everything.

Surf/Kitesurf/Skateboard-addicted guy: usually go on the atlantic coast or up north twice a week to go surfing, more often if big swell is coming around. It clearly is more than just a sport for me, it helps me to keep being balanced. When there's no waves and no wind, or after working, I go get some fun with a carver-skateboard.

I practice as well meditation every morning and some yoga as well (not daily) to maintain a good energy.
