About Me

Hello, citizen of the world!

After finishing my Master’s degree in Montreal in 2008, I set off on my first adventure—a month of backpacking in Mexico. After that trip i knew i was going to be hooked for life! When I returned to Paris, I headed to Australia on a working holiday visa. For the next 10 years, I alternated between working as a physical education teacher in Paris and exploring the world. Summers were spent on road trips around Europe, while my travels took me across Southeast Asia, through Central, South, and North America, and lately through the Pacific.

In 2019, I decided to learn how to sail. I crossed the Atlantic and hitchhiked on sailboats around the Caribbean. When covid hit, I chose not to return home. Instead, I decided i would sail around the world. Still on that tour, i arrived lately in New caledonia where i am gonna settle for a while.

Traveling is part of who I am. I love meeting locals and travelers, getting to know their cultures, and sharing experiences. Whether it's through outdoor sports, music, or just hanging out, these connections are what really make the journey special.

PHILOSOPHY

"Don’t worry, be happy!" It might sound simple, but that’s how I live. I enjoy life to the fullest! Live your dreams—don’t just dream your life. If you want something, go for it—trying is always better than doing nothing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Started couchsurfing back in 2012 during my travels in Central America. It’s such a great way to connect with locals, but also with fellow travelers. I traveled with some or just grabbed coffee or went wild on the dancefloor.

I love sharing travel tips, practicing languages, swapping recipes, and spreading good vibes.

I also host whenever I can.
