About Me

Aupa! About me I'm an Ocean lover and I love to travel. Either by bus, bike, boat, mule...? I don't really care I just want to keep moving forward, and meet new people. What I mainly remember from my early childhood is travelling with my family, sailing, scuba diving and experiencing new cultures. There is few stuff I love to do, surfing, drawing, play music with friends, and cooking ( recipes I learned while travelling, of course!)
For now I'm working on an old vessel importing goods (wine, olive oil) sailing, this project is amazing but in a few weeks i'll need to find something else. My real goal however is to create a boat-hospital to give access to good medical services, in the most remoted islands in the Solomons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first discover couch surfing while I was living in a share house in La rochelle. Our owner was sometimes hosting some surfers and we get to meet so much interesting peoples. Now that I'm looking for a new place to live it's pretty cool to have a way to passed a night or two with locals to get the vibes of the city. Moreover it's always interesting to meet new people with different point of view and share, talk and have some fun.
