About Me

I'm a French/New Zealander who has been fortunate enough to have a sabbatical from my high school teaching position for 2015. Having traveled around the world from the tender age of two, I feel like the road is my second home. This year I hope to combine my passions for travel and history to study the ancient history of the countries I will visit while traveling overland from Thailand to France.
I am a very easygoing fellow and love making connections with people from all walks of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting new folk and giving them new opportunities. and experiences. Am planning on a lot of traveling in 2015 so will be looking to call upon the kindness of strangers. Seems to be a medium where everyone is ready to connect openly and accept things outside their spheres.
