About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world one couch at a time

ABOUT ME

I am French, born and raised in Tahiti, French Polynesia. I have graduated in 2010 and now work in Newport Beach in International Business

I love to travel and I have had the chance to travel a lot: New Zealand (Auckland, Christchurch), Australia (Gold Coast), Hawaii (Honolulu), England (London), Italy (Ventimiglia), Spain (Barcelona), the US (LA, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, Death Valley, New York, Chicago), Cuba (La Habana, Trinidad, Varadero).

PHILOSOPHY

Selflessness goes a long ways in life, and always comes back full circle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in Newport Beach which has a very active CS community.
If you are travelling and need a last minute place to crash for a night or two, I can maybe help you :)

Even if I can't host you, I'm always happy to meet up and show you around !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've done has been to travel to Cuba. In spite of the prejudices people can have about that country, it has been an amazing experience.
I had not planned my trip ahead at all and have lived in Cubans' houses. I loved the fact that I got to talk and share with Cubans native. I learned a lot about the vision Cubans have about their own political system and economic situation. I was great to learn and see by myself and not through the media or history books.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn about new cultures and places and love to meet new people.
