About Me

I have been travelling the world for almost 2 years now, after quitting my job and selling my flat, in Annecy.
I have taken time to rest, travel, reflect, do yoga and meditation.
I love meeting people and listening to good music.
I am also practising an extreme sport called streetluge, maybe you have already heard about it? I have been hooked on it since 2003

From november 2015 to july 2017, I have been living mostly in Bali. It has been the most powerful and transformative experience of my life, personally professionally and spiritually. In between 2 long Bali stays, I have lived a few month in Barcelona, Spain.

I am now back in France, and i am having my own place again for the first time in almost 4 years! I am happy to offer my couch for a night or 2 to travellers, so that i keep being connected to the world and its beautiful cultural mix :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am back in Europe to develop my coaching business, and will travel a lot for that. And I'd love to meet people in the process!
