CURRENT MISSION
"Tout ici me laisse intact, je n’abandonne rien de moi-même, je ne revêts aucun masque ; il me suffit d’apprendre patiemment la difficile science de vivre qui vaut bien tous leurs savoir-vivre. " Albert Camus

ABOUT ME

We are a couple who arrived in the region since 2013 after realising a bike-trip from north to south of France. Emilien is botanist and Julie schoolmistress. Coline is born in august 2014.

Emilien first registered on CS, so the text below is its own description...

I've been studying 1 year in Serbia and working in Kyrgyz republic during summer. That was my greatest experiences in foreign countries. Thanks to my job and hobbies I travel quite a lot but not necessary far away from home. It's as important to know what's goning on beyond your backyard as at the other side of the earth. I don't imagine my holidays lied down on a beach so the perfect travel concists in working and take time to live on the spot.
Don't worry anyway, I also love my hammok and just chilling out, appreciating a beautiful landscape.

PHILOSOPHY

To get as open-minded as possible to understand the world. To hope that people will do it as far as they can. The only way to fulfill it is to meet each other!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love to do such alternative experiences for meeting people by working, traveling, sleeping, etc.

Also wwoofer, hitch hiker...

Interests

I want to learn as much as I can. I first enjoy naturalism (especialy botany but also anything else), juggling (balls, unicycle, bolas, fire eating, etc), photographying, having a drink with people, walking, discovering languages, going to cinema... I think it's enough for the moment!

I'm very interested in the sustainable development concept, that is trying to put together ecology, social and economy together. Ecological, cultural and educational affairs doesn't have to be considered separately. I love this philosophical trend of interdisciplinarity (see Edgar Morin, Gilles Deleuze). That's why everybody has to know everything for a better world =)

I realy realy enjoy to learn foreign languages, at least few bases of eatch, that's also a wonderful way to discover another culture. Do you know Geoges Kersaudy? He knew making official translation in 52 asian-european languages in his whole life! A wonderful world ambassador!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The nicest things I made were most certainly when it was catch-as-catch-can. That's how you do the best meetings.
