Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

It gives me the opportunity to meet interesting and great people from different ways of Life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To date I have not surfed on any couches - I might be too shy and I am afraid of disturbing my hosts. But I met and greeted dozens of international CSurfers in Paris and in Port-Vila, and even took part in CSurfing events.

Centres d'intérêt

Apart of my daily office job, I have opened in May 2016 my own tourism accommodation: it is a little 3-room bed and breakfast located in Paray, Nambatu, less than 2K from Port-Vila CBD.
If you don't find a local CS host in Port-Vila, or are not looking to crash at someone's place, you're more than welcome to check the Vanuatu Rainbow Lodge. www.vanuaturainbowlodge.com
It is also featured on AirBnB, Facebook, MisterBandB and TripAdvisor.
When I am not taking my dogs for a beach outing, on my horse riding through coconut plantations or swimming at the seaside, you will find me at the Vanuatu Rainbow Lodge entertaining my guests :)
