Bastien, a bearded french man backpacking the world, traveling with my girlfriend Kat (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/kat-dillane)

I'm from middle of nowhere in france, at yssingeaux exactly (It is normal if you don't know where it is), it is very nice and in the middle of an old volcano.

I was student before in enviroment, but I found it boring. So when i finished I wanted something new, and i had the opportunity to work in Lithuania for 3 months. It was a really good experience and after I decided to take my backpack and go to Australia for 1 year to have new experiences again, discover a new country, culture and continue to meet new people. And i have enjoyed that experience so I stayed for 2 years.

During my differents trips i have had good times, work in lot of different job ( from picking to delivery to milking cows)...Meeting people from everywhere and living everywhere (mostly in a tent).

Now I'm on a new adventure in New Zealand and Im hoping to continue to meet new people and experience everything NZ has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people with different culture, and dicover some new places out of the tourist circuit.

I'm very interested by history, so meeting new people to explain to me more about their country is always interesting for me.
