About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Our one year trip shook us all a bit. We are now trying with lot of humility to come down to the essential in our life.

ABOUT ME

We always enjoyed traveling and opening our minds to others.
We are outdoor people but we always take a good book along, we would rather take our bikes or just walk than our car.
We basically don't know what we are talking about.
We travel with a car, a roof tent and a small "Boler" (funny looking canadian trailer).

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to get older.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now it is a bit difficult to host CS, we sold our house to travel. We're often thinking of the future place we'll have but of course there's always enough space somehow for Cs in our small house in Marseille.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We stayed two nights in Oakland. We are now friends, they came over for diner. We will keep in touch for a long time. We were strangers and here we are, friends. Just great.

Interests

Fresh air in any ways it comes, life in any ways it comes
writing, cooking, reading, videomaking and music, we also like to swim in the ocean all year around.
