Hey Couchsurfing Community! Well well, it has been a wee while since I haven’t been here as I tried some alternative options when CS changed few years ago. Back on it as I’m embarking on a new long trip around the world and especially because I’m missing meeting locals and learn from them wherever I go.

For this 2024 trip, I’m starting with my travel partner Kazuchi.

So here we are in BULLET POINTS:

(1) ANDREA:
-I LOVE DETAILS. Life is interesting because of all its details. When someone tells me a story, I want to hear all the details. When I watch a movie, I'll notice the lady in red in the blurry background. When I hear a song, I'll notice the tropical pineapple sound in the middle of the chorus.

-I'M CURIOUS, THEREFORE I ASK QUESTIONS. LOTS OF THEM. I'm more a listener than a speaker. I love to hear other people stories. I enjoy discovering different characters and their visions.

-DANCING MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE. I don't think there something in the world that makes me more happy than dancing. I believe that dance is my best expression mode. Not saying that I’m necessarily a good dancer but when I hear good music and my body starts to follow the rhythms, I’m the happiest.

-I ENJOY ALL FORM OF ARTS. I enjoy discovering new form of arts and I especially enjoy trying them out. More into visual and scene for my own practice but all are as nourishing for the spirit.

- I LOVE WANDERING. Wandering allows me to explore in the best way possible. It allows me to observe, to analyze, to listen, to reflect, to connect, to be.

If you want to read some of my latest CS references, you can go on Matthieu Carlier's (my past travel buddy in 2015-2017).

(2) KAZUCHI:
Hey my name is Kazuchi but you can call me Kaz' ! I'm what we call a "hafu" (half-Japanese) half French and i live in Montreal (Canada).

I'm passionate by cooking and creating new dishes from the new tastes i discover when i travel around the world. I'm a photographer and web-sites creator, so I enjoy creating visual identity (website, pictures, logo, etc). I’m also a musician, I love to jam and meet other musicians from the world. Respect and honesty is my motto. I love to share and learn new things.

Hope we can meet in person!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing is like hitchhiking. You learn more in a 30-minute conversation than in a 3-hour university lecture class.
