About Me

I traveled in south america and central america during 3 years, living in the Amazon forest for a while. I was learning about agroecology and self-sufficiency, and discovering alternatives projects and different ways of life. I spent also few months in the indian ocean, and one year in Asia. Actually, I spent most of my time during 7 years travelling around the world with my backpack, staying and working in a place or an other, where I was feeling good. I have some nice couchsurfing experiences, in United States, Peru, or Canada.
I'm now living near Bordeaux in France since 6 years, where I'd like to stay, working as a psychiatric nurse. Travelers are welcome if I can host them.
I' traveled in west Africa for 7 months last winter from november to may crossing Benin, Togo, Ghana, Ivory coast, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Gambia, Sénégal, and Cape Verde Islands working in farms and as a nurse in mental health clinic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It'll be a pleasure to receive people at home, maybe those I met during this trip. I just want to have great exchange, and experiences.
