CURRENT MISSION

Finding ways of travelling always more

ABOUT ME

We are Anne-Sophie, Clémence, Marlène and Lisa, four good friends who met in Peru 6 years ago, and since then decided to travel through South America. Lisa also lived a while in Argentina for her studies and Marlène in Brasil. We are French but also speak fluent Spanish and English and some Portuguese.
We love travelling, that's why we quit our jobs to be on the roads of South America for one year.
We travelled from Venezuela to Chile, through Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. We are back in France but still willing to travel everywhere! We want discoveries, we want new and we are easy people (for instance we can sleep on the ground or in a small spot without any trouble).

PHILOSOPHY

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Difficult question, we'll bring every good humor we can bring.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of hosting and travelling experiences, many via CouchSurfing during our travel in South America.

Interests

We all love rum (and mainly beer except for Lisa and Marlène who appreciate red wine but it has nothing to do with their Frenchness, they say). We like music (though we can't play any instrument properly) and concerts, reading, photography and taking naps.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The Big Lebowsky, The Royal Tenembaum, Monthy Pithon's movies, La Estrategia del Caracol, Tarantino's movies, Carlos Sorin's movies, La Dolce Vita...
Music : a bit of everything : jazz,funk, rock, hip hop, and brasilian music mainly. We have some troubles with Huayno but it can be overcome.
Books : a bit of everything toom but mainly 20th century litterature. We like Latino american (Jorge Amado, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Julio Cortazar, Juan Rulfo), North American (Kerouac, Faulkner, Steinbeck, Irving) and French litterature too (Camus, Gary, Pennac, Vian, St Exupery and much more).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We saw a blue man in an airport who missed his flight because he was suspiciously blue.

Teach, Learn, Share

We're experts in nothing, though we're interested in a lot of things.
We can sing (poorly) old French songs.
We want to have an insight of the place where we travel. Share with us your favorite bar, music, food, hobbies and point of vues.
We all worked in the social and non-governmental organizations, we take naps and party but we also travel to discover social initiatives and community organizations, and are ready to engage further in this way.
