About Me

Who are we?
I am from Brittany in France and Corentin is from Toulon, south of France. We love discover new countries with our bikes.
In 2020, during 2 years, we crossed different countries and travelled with our bicycles. It was such an incredible experience. We crossed East Europe, Turkey, Iraq kurdistan and after coming back with a bus for different reason, we started again from France to Abidjan and cycled along West African countries.
When we came back in august 2022, we lived in a community in France and now we are leaving in Nantes, doing many things with different local association.
I am interested in topics like environment, feminism, slow travel... I love sharing with people about their country, culture and learning about their way of life. Corentin, also called "Coco", likes playing guitar, climbing and talking about sociology or philosophy.

So, we decided to start again with our bikes. We have around one month to discover Andalucia. During our previous trip, we cycled from Portugal to Sevilla, but then, because of Covid, we have to take a bus to quickly take a boat to joing Morrocco before closing their borders. So, we really want to discover more this region of Spain and, of course, we'd love to meet lots of people on the way :)

Other information :
We are vegan and love sharing plant-based ways of cooking with our hosts :)
