ABOUT ME
I'm an engineer in the field of water and environnemental management.
In 2011-2012, I took a gap year and spent few months in Benin and in New Zealand. Now, I'm back in France and I'm looking forward to meet travellers or either locals.
I love travelling, hiking, taking pictures, listening to music et going to gig. I also love outdoors and water activities like windsurfing.
PHILOSOPHY
"Turn the face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you" [Maori proverb]
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Sometimes the World seems to be small when you are surprised meeting someone you know in an unexpected place on the other side of it. But sometimes the World may appear to be infinite as well... let's connect it !
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I couch surfed few times in New Zealand and it helped me a lot to discover this wonderful country at the antipodes of mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sleeping on the floor of Washington Dulles airport because I missed my flight to Pittsburgh. Basically, when you are a teenager, it's fun !
Walking along the Slave Route in Ouidah (Benin, Africa) to the Gate of No Return facing the Atlantic Ocean... and feel the suffering of millions of people during the colonial period.
Walking up the steepest street in the World (Baldwin Street, Dunedin, New Zealand)... and survive ! :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share my little knowledge and love about the nature and the environment that surrounds us. And I would love to learn about your special environment, especially in a country that I discover for the first time.
I can talk to you about New Zealand, France and my lovely Brittany for hours...stop me before falling asleep!
