Hey, it's time to introduce ourselves! We are Benjamin and Diane,we are two French northerners. Today we leave the everyday life behind to marvel at the world around us, which we only discover through books or documentaries!
Benjamin: "It all started in 2014, my first trip was to Peru in backpack mode, an experience shared with two friends that remained engraved in my heart. In 2017 I returned to the adventure by visiting Iceland. Then, the year 2018 was marked by two experiences: Jordan (one week) and Indonesia (one month). Wow, that was an evolution and a revelation! So I decided to continue after my studies and live with a big "L".
Pin up destinations all around the world with Diane, has reinforced the desire to wandering "
Diane: " From an early age I am a fan of traveling. I have already travelled around 26 countries (we agree there are still many of them to visit) Then, after wandering between cities and countries for my studies, my work and my personal desires, I decided to return to the North of France to settle down.
Why? Because at my age that's what the "rational" people do.
What a stupid idea will you say to me! The encounters make us evolve.
We'll have plenty of time to have a normal life afterwards. »

Today we are heading for the Asian continent, our list of current destinations will probably evolve but it is composed as follows:
China (2019/08/14 for one month), Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Philippines.
Once these countries have been conquered and captivated, one of our main objectives will be to find work. In order to make the most of our skills, we would like to put our luggage (finally the Backpack) in New Caledonia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to have an other vision of your country, to know your hobbies, your favorite places, to live a little bit a way of life that is familiar to you and totally unknown to us!
Enriching our adventure with experiences that we may only practice once in a lifetime. Let's live in the present moment, we don't know what will be done tomorrow.
Going to meetings, sharing not only a roof but also a meal, a history, a culture.
Dating makes the most beautiful trips!

We are open to all kinds of musics.

For Diane it's more alternative pop rock: Panic at the disco, puggy, Punk rock: offspring, jazz swing: glenmiller
Silence has its virtues under certain conditions, the rest of the time we like to decorate it with a background sound and catchy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"An" adventure! However let's not forget that life is made up of an immensity of adventures!
(Diane) As Benjamin says so well, Adventure is about travelling with me and surviving my screwed-up plans.
Climbing Mount Rinjani in Indonesia where I got up early for hours of hiking, 1000m of altitude changes to see the daybreak at the summit.
From my point of view (Benjamin) to see the sunrise from the archaeological site of Machu Picchu, to sleep on the roadsides in a country where the sun does not set in summer, to travel alone to the other side of the world! Travelling with Diane to Denmark, then today in this crazy project! ( it's an adventure in adventure)
We don't intend to stop there. We want to make our lives an adventure!
