I'm Léa, from Lyon in France. I'm now a full time traveler/digital nomad with Léo (Léo Bourigan on CS) who is from Guadeloupe (French island in the Caribbean).

I love to travel overland by hitchhiking or motorbike. I love to travel very slowly and I love to meet new friends on my road. That's why I travel.

Our project: go to New Zealand and come back in France by seas and lands only. We estimate a 5 years travel (but we're very flexible, so we'll see!).

I relate my travels on an epistolary travel blog (in French) through letters and postcards : Bons baisers (www.bonsbaisers.voyage / www.instagram.com/bonsbaisers_).

PS: I'm vegan but I can cook!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was used to host in Lyon and I really loved it: I met so much inspiring people thanks to CS. Now, as a traveler, I like discover countries and cultures from inside.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some French words and recipes.
I want to learn everything you want to teach me, about you, the place you come from, what you’ve seen and lived…
I want to share stories, experiences, daydreams and good food!
