I've been living outside of the U.S. since 2004, first in France and now in the Congo. I love meeting new people and know that lodging in Pointe Noire is expensive and tourism hasn't been developed. So, I'm more than happy to have folks stay for a night or two.
I'm no longer in the PNR as my company transferred me and my family to Dubai. However, as I only just arrived and am getting my place organized I can't currently accept guests.
