CURRENT MISSION

Discovering the world and all the beautifull and interesting people living on it!

ABOUT ME

We are both 30 years old and have been together for 7 years. Amélie is French and I am German. We met on a student exchange program (Erasmus) in The Netherlands. We both love travelling and meeting people from different countries and cultures. Life is too short and the world so beautiful !

This is why we are now planning our worldtrip, starting in August, for at least a year. Going first to Russia, then Mongolia, China, Nepal, India, going through South East Asia, Australia, Latin America... we 'll see on the way !!

We have been working a couple of years in paris to afford it and now it's time to leave / live !!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short for regrets! Live your dreams...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Paris is a really lovely city, but can also be a really expensive one. We can provide travellers a bed and some advices on what to do / how to do it.

Beside that, all shared moments with people from all over makes our world nicer and more peacefull. I trully believe that if the people could know each other better, they will be more tolerant and there will be less war...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We hosted lots of friends and people we met during our Erasmus year !!
We also used to surf friend's couches around Europe when possible...

Interests

Wish to do good things for our planet ; thinking on how to behave to be better people, more environmental friendly, more reasonnable in the way we live...
but not yet totally bio and ethic consumers (still like to be fashionable and ride a motorcycle!)

Like to exchange with others, about experiences, funny stories as well as serious topics... (and also to stay sometimes quiet at home !)

Like nature (horses a lot, forest, empty beaches...) but have lived for years in big cities and cannot see ourself living far from one !

We can't see life without Music ! We will travel with a mp3 player full of our favorite songs, and wish to share it with others and enrich it with new ones !
