We are a Mauritian and Swiss couple with two terrible-adorable kids. We live in Switzerland, next to the beautiful town of Neuchâtel.

We do not accept guests for the moment - too many things going on in our life, we need some time for ourselves...

In summer, we love to go hiking, swimming in the lake, visit cities in Switzerland and some other places, and make outdoor activities with the kids (even if they would often prefer playing their Nintendo Switch).

For a few years, we've been trying to reduce our waste and especially plastic. We want to keep out planet as clean as possible ;)

Feel free to write to us in French (of course, our main language), English, German or Italian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to meet people from all around the world, listen to their stories and tell ours. We hosted so many people when we lived in Mauritius, and each time it was a great experience ! We started again a fee months ago and again - it is always great to meet new people and share points of views.

We'd love to let you discover the beauty of our little country. (Hey, international people travelling to Europe, Switzerland is not only about Lucern and the Alps ! Come and enjoy our beautiful region : the lake, the beautiful town of Neuchâtel, nature reserves... have a look at our pictures ;)

FAMILIES ARE ESPECIALLY WELCOME HERE !

We also like to travel with our kids, for now only in Europe, generally by car or by train. We love to meet local people when we travel, it is always great to have good advice about what to do, and also we love to chat about this and that with our hosts.
