Hey!

I'm called Benoît and I'm a 32 years old french who tries to fulfill his dream of freedom by travelling the world with his best mate Antonin.

After 7 years working abroad successively in London (UK), Tenerife (Canaria Islands) and Göteborg (Sweden), I decided to study again in Aix-en-Provence (France) where I completed an MBA International Travel Management and met Antonin. That's where it all began...

We started our trip in June on four wheels by discovering Europe. Then, we'll take the legendary Transsiberian train to Mongolia. After that, we'll travel all over South East Asia, Oceania, South and North America for almost 2 years, by meeting good people and reach out to other cultures.

We are both sociable, openminded, sportive and funny... or wishing to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We believe that Couchsurfing is the best place to meet good people who can give us shelter along our trip.

We also hope that CouchSurfing can help us out to travel at little cost.
