Hi,

We are Anais and Ludovic, a french couple traveling since more than 5 years to discover the world and a simpler life.

After two years discovering South America by hitchhiking, we cycled two years from France to Turkey. During Covid we stayed 1 year in Bulgaria, then we came back to France, stayed 1 year in the North involved with displaced people. Now after hitchhiking on a Sailboat over the Atlantic we are back on Brazil. Anais is pragnet and the baby will certainly be Brazilian :)

The system we live in is unfair and because we don't want to be just 'against' it without trying something else, 5 years ago we decided to stop using money at all for political and ecological reason : we only use spare things (food, clothes, bicycle parts...), work on a voluntary basis and try to take care as much as we can of this beautiful planet !
This alternative way connects us closer to other person.

Our life projects : to be self-sufficient in food and energy while developing community projects, helping people in need (homeless, displaced people,...)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world wouldn't be the same without sharing. We are all different and we have to learn from everybody.
We also think it's very important to learn how to live together to create a better world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Isn't better to talk about that in real life ? : )

Teach, Learn, Share

*Sharing experiences and vegan food.
*Talking about traveling, way of life, music and movies.
*Teaching French words, self-sufficient things (natural construction, crafts, vegetable garden...)
*Learning your language, your culture and everything you want to teach me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We helped several times in vegetable garden, natural construction, carpentry... We would be more than happy to help you in your projects.
To eat, we are recycling the left over from restaurants, street markets or supermarkets ... many times I have enough to cook good food for everyone.
