About Me

My wife and I love all kind of outdoor activities like hiking, running, camping, climbing and cycling. We are both French and we moved to Espoo (Finland) for Finnish nature.
In October we quitted our jobs, left our furnitures in a garage and left Finland to start a long cycling trip crossing South America from Ushuaïa, Argentina to Quito, Ecuador by following the Andes. We're crossing Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, and maybe even more.
We love good food and drinks, camping in the middle of nowhere and getting to know new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before our big trip: I would love meeting new people and I would be happy to share what I know about Espoo/Helsinki with others.
Now we're on Couchsurfing in order to get to know the people and the regions we're crossing by bike.
