( photos and travel experiences )

Laurie, my wife and my self like simple life. We try to live and travel in a sustainable way. We enjoy being in nature but busy city experiences or unusual folk events are always welcome. We like to discover and share about anything new.
Laurie has soapmaking as more than just a hobby, as I have for photography.
We like craft food and drinks and like to learn how to do things by ourselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Helping travellers to find a warm place to stay, showing them what is not in guide-books. Be helped when traveling, discovering what is not in guide-books !

I assume traveling is meeting the right person in the right spot. It makes my day, and usually a good photo, when someone open a door only a local can know !

Interests

I like photos, specially when simple graphism leads you to unexpected feelings.
I like drawing, because sometimes shooting is not possible, and an emotion has to be reported.
I like writing, because my drawing skills are often not as good as I need ! And because it makes good background for photos, ... But it also works the way around !
