Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We experienced surfing in Ireland. Now we would be very glad to host at our home in France! That way we can meet people from everywhere!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We got our first great experience this month surfing for 5 nights in Ireland, each night with a different host! Amazing!

Interests

A bit of studies (Jen just finished university and is currently looking for work), a bit of work (Matthieu is working full time), reading, sports (running, squash, tennis...), going to the movies.We love cooking, have a few drinks and experiment new recipes.We are kind of "gourmets". We also like travelling, recently we've been to Brittanny a lot (Saint Malo,Cancale, Saint Just, Quimper...)and also in Pays de Loire on the Atlantic coast (Piriac sur mer, Guérande....)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies from Tim Burton, David Lynch,the Coen brothers, Tarantino, Scorcese, Guy Ritchie...At the moment we're reading A song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin as we like science-fiction and fantastic stories. We also read many comics. we're very open about music, except for rap or techno which we find very difficult to listen to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After I passed my (first) university degree, I went to live in Dublin for several months in 2008 (well until I had no more money since I had no job) and it was just great enjoying the present moment. On my return to France it was more difficult because I had to find out what to do with my life!!
