About Me

We are a French couple, Caroline & Dimitri, 32 and 30, living in Sydney for 3/5 years. We met in Manly Beach 3 years ago and we lived in a van for 2 years. We're both permaculture advocates and gave up our 9-5 job (digital marketing for Caroline and Astrophysics for Dimitri) last year to start our own business Rewildin, an Ecotourism Airbnb listing private camping, ecolodges and earth skills workshops in Australia. Our mission is to inspire people to reconnect with nature and with themselves so they can protect the Nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're about to do a Rewildin tour for two weeks in Tasmania and explore the wilderness in Tassie. We're attending the Newkind festival, looking forward to meet all these change-makers. We are in a expedition to meet like-minded people and take wild pictures of beautiful hidden gems. Also, we're on budget because we gave up our full time job to pursue our dream!
