Hi everybody, we’re Joffrey and Stellina!
We’re a French couple living in Samut Prakan, just south of Bangkok.

We love meeting new people, laughing together, sharing stories, cooking or trying local food, and just enjoying simple moments. Joffrey writes books and used to work as a hypnotherapist, Stellina loves drawing and creating designs for her clothing brand. We’re easy-going, open-minded, and always happy to exchange ideas or just chill with a good beer or some music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Humanity feels like a big family to us, and Couchsurfing is a beautiful way to open our heart and share simple moments with people from all around the world !

Interests

We’re curious about so many things! We love meeting people, discovering cultures, enjoying nature, history, philosophy and mythologies. We’re also into spiritual life, art, and of course good (vegetarian) food.

We believe in celebrating both body and spirit with freedom and respect, and we’re LGBTQ+ friendly.

Music, Movies, and Books

We both have very eclectic tastes in music — from rock and metal to jazz, classical, reggae… and we’ve also fallen in love with Thai artists like Milli, D Gerrard, Bear Knuckle, and more. 🎶

Joffrey’s favorite movie is Barry Lyndon by Stanley Kubrick — for him, the best depiction of human nature.
His favorite book? The Lord of the Rings (though Les Misérables by Victor Hugo is a close second).

Stellina’s favorite book is Roots (Racines) by Alex Haley, which deeply inspired her. But she's also a huge Harry Potter fan !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We sold everything in France, left our house behind, and started a new life together in Asia. From celebrating Ganesh Chaturti in Sri Lanka, to sharing gin-fueled philosophical nights in Bangkok, to building our own ethical clothing brand while writing books about myths and new civilizations — every step has been an adventure. For us, the most amazing thing is not just one event, but daring to reinvent our lives side by side.

Teach, Learn, Share

Joffrey is a hypnotherapist who loves talking about the human mind and sharing his experience. Stellina is an artist who enjoys creating and speaking about myths, art and spirituality.

We’re always happy to exchange ideas, learn new things, and share laughs, drinks, and stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations, laughs, and stories from our travels and daily life in Thailand. We can cook some vegetarian dishes, share music we love, or simply enjoy spending time together. Above all, we bring kindness, respect, and an open mind.
