Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love travelling (not really original for someone in Couchsurfing). Indeed, we are planning on one huge trip once year. 2019 : we are doing the Transiberian from Moscou to Pekin with a detour by Mongolia.

We both desire to work in the humanitary sector. Followed from a growing-up in an international context, our home is open to friends from all around the world. To be honnest, some day it looks more at an hostel than a couple flat...

We have a sincere interest in the "other". We love meeting people, learning new languages, discover regions and sharing our passion and place. Both of our carrers are oriented toward the help to the others, we need it to find a meaning to our job.
