About Me

ESPANOL :

Clarisse y yo somos un par de viticultores franceses, viajando por el mundo desde hace dos años. Como enólogo profesional, podemos encontrar fácilmente trabajo en bodegas, por lo que alternamos los períodos de trabajo ocupados (durante el tiempo de cosecha) y el mochilero.

Hicimos un montón de wwoofing (trabajo voluntario) mientras mochileros en Australia y América del Sur, que era para nosotros la mejor manera de conocer a los lugareños y realmente entrar en su cultura.

Somos nuevos en la comunidad de couch surfing, pero escuchamos acerca de ello hace un tiempo, lo hicimos solamente a dos veces, en Australia y en Canada, y fue una muy buena experienca. Nos encanta esta idea y creo que es mucho en común con wwoofing. Nos encanta compartir experiencias, comidas, vino con gente de todo el mundo.

Ahora estamos planeando nuestro nuevo viaje en Central america, a partir del inicio de febrero, por 4 meses

ENGLISH :

Clarisse and I are a couple of french winemakers, travelling around the world since two years. As professionals winemaker, we can easily find work in wineries, so we alternate busy work periods (during harvest time) and backpacking.

We did a lot of wwoofing while backpacking in Australia and South America, which was for us the best way to meet locals and really get into their culture.

We are new on the Couch surfing community, but we did hear about it a while ago, we did it just twice, in UAtralia and Canada, and we had great experiences. But we do love this idea and think their is a lot in common with wwoofing. We truly love sharing experiences, meals, wine with people from everywhere around te world.

We are now planning our new trip in Central America, starting early february, for 4 months.
