ABOUT US
Curious, sweet, joyful and open minded ! We like to meet new people and new culture.

Émilie : Curious by nature, I'm a sensitive person who likes to learn, to discover and being amazed by beautiful things in nature and in life. I like singing, dancing and move, laughing, writing, and well cooking and eating. I'm always interested by arts and crafts, nature, ecology, sciences. and above all to improve my english !
I love to meet and listen to people who share their passions.

David : I'm a young man in mind (sadly not as in shape as I used to be but stil fit -cycling everywhere helps- )and always interested in learning new stuf !
My main activities for the time are Yoga, dancing (Lindy-hop) and sailing. Well, Sailing should be pointed out as a passion, I sail all kind of craft from small dingies to full rigger when an opportunity occur...
I like to meet new people and have a lot of friend, some of them around the world...
I'm engaged in different associations and committed in the board of one running 2 traditionnal sailing ship.
I love to eat too and can cook even though I don't have as much interest as Émilie.
I'm very interested in how we can adapt to climate change, and change ours ways to help protect the planet.
There's more but if I tell you now you won't have anything to ask when we meet ! :)

PHILOSOPHY
Try to make the best out of it ! (and try to share the Love)
David is a traveller : "When it comes to countries I've visited (listed further below) it is more of a "countries I've been to". I only saw a few places (sometime just one place) in a lot of them..."
