CURRENT MISSION

finding a decent vegan chocolate cake recipe (and saving the world)

ABOUT ME

Oté marmay!

I am a Reunion island fellow who quite senselessly left a few years ago to live adventures in cold and hostile countries (this is a temporary thing).
Otherwise, I am a very simple (borderline simple-minded) person, a bit whimsical and antisocial, but open-minded, warm and welcoming most of the time.

Also, I weigh 2 500 000 ants and plan to change the world someday.

PHILOSOPHY

Florebo quocumque ferar

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After a while without any couch to offer, due to colocation contexts, my boyfriend and I are finally able to lend our own tiny but comfy couch to travellers. Along with hard wood floors, for the toughest ones.
We also hope to soon be able to shamelessly take advantage of other people's generous furniture and spread the joy across the world.
