Graduated student in marine ecology, I worked in environmental research and citizen science (e.g. Surfrider Foundation which is a NGO fighting about plastic pollution).
I've been working in different environment: tropical (French Polynesia, Reunion island) Mediterranean (french coast).
I spent my childhood near Paris area and basque country.
Since 2024 I'm a dive instructor and worked in Bali and Cairns on the Great Barrier Reef.
It is my 2nd year WHV and I'm open to discover the australian lifestyle in a city or countryside :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After one year holiday visa working as a dive instructor in Cairns, I want to experience more and sharing the lifestyle of the aussies!

In 2017, I had my first couchsurfing experience 3 days in Beijing. My first host was keen to take me in amazing restaurants and showed me the Forbidden City of Beijing! Then I did 1 year WHV in New Zealand and I met wonderful people all across the country.

I love experciencing new things, sharing my knowledge and french culture. I'm very attentive to people and if you host me I will try to do my best to have a comfortable stay together :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to French Polynesia during a six-month internship, working on the ingestion of microplastics by coral reef fish.
I visited a friend in Bora-Bora island and I slept on a cargo vessel before arriving on the island, departure from Tahiti. I assisted him in a medical center for sea turtle.

Teach, Learn, Share
