About Me

I am 57 years old, I retired 9 years ago and became a Tour Guide.
My wife Sylvaine is just retired and is 61 years old.
I know 150 countries and went 3 times around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I travel all around the world, meeting every times a lot of people, I would be pleased to share expérience in my city.
I would be pleased to host guests in my large flat (90 m²) in Paris.
The guest would be hosted in the lounge, on a confortable double couch, with a private bathroom.
My 4 experiences were fully satisfactory.

I am now beginning my 4th Round the World, this time with my wife during 9 months.
Quite a challenge for a couple !
We will focus on environmental awareness and happyness.
Our itinerary begins on September 20th.
The stop are as follows :
- Myanmar - Cambodia - Vietnam - Borneo - Brunei - Indonesia - Australia - Papua New Guinea - Solomon Islands - Vanuatu - New Caledonia - New Zealand - French Polynesia - Easter Island - Chile - Colombia - Panama - Costa Rica - Nicaragua.
We want to meet as many locals as possible. Therefore we will use CouchSurfing from time to time.
