Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
18 months contract for rural electrification in West Africa, based in Dakar
ABOUT ME
I now live in Dakar for 18 months, working on rural electrification. I love meeting people, discuss on several different subjects, do some sports (scuba diving or surf here !)
I am part of an incredible international network called MakeSense, trying to solve social entrepreneurs issues around the world. I met the most positive energy there.
Previously, I spent 6 months in Laos working for the United Nations on the edible insects, and before that 6 months in Brasil :). I am a lot more relaxed now and just want to enjoy any new experience: both for work and for fun.
I have a background in engineering (agronomy) and energy economics.
PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy your time! don't lose a minute. I am the kind of happy person who wakes up every morning with more energy to spend than the day before :-)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I ve been hosted in a wonderful house when I arrived in Laos and that was a great help as I arrived walking with crutches because of a stupid accident 2 days before :)
Glasgow was an amazing experience too and we re trying hard to catch up again beyong the geografic difficulties ^^
I don't even have my place in Dakar for now, but I can have a drink anytime !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Recently, I did a night treck to see the sunshine on top of a Balinese Vulcano and I just thought : "okay I am here because of my work and I am just 21 one years old, I could not dream anything like this..."
