Hi,

We are a Spanish (Jesus) and a French (Laura) nationals travelling around the world. In August 2015, we packed our bags and left our beloved Ireland where we lived for 7 years to go explore the world.

So far we have been to Russia, Mongolia, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Japan, Taiwan, and Australia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals and make new friends all over the world!
To have a more inmersive experience in local life.

Interests

Food! We are interested in each country food culture and have done cooking classes and food tours in some of the countries we have visited. We love going to the markets to try different foods that we are not used to back home. While travelling we try and eat mainly local food with street food being one of our favorites glimpses into local life.

We like hiking as well as other outdoors activities such as mountain biking and kayaking at a very amateur level. We also enjoy going to the cinema, theatre, and dance shows.

Jesus is also trying to develop his photography skills.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For Jesus this would be celebrating his birthday trekking in the Vietnamese jungle and for Laura a flight over the forest on the Quebec area on a hydroplane.

Teach, Learn, Share

We both speak French and English and, being his native tongue, Jesus also speaks Spanish. Hence, we can talk with you in and will be able to help with learning any of these languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can share our passion for travel and for food and we can cook some of our favorites Spanish, French and Irish dishes as well as some of the dishes we have learnt to cook during our trip.
