Hi, we are a French couple from New Caledonia.
We are 33 and 31 years old.

Marion :

*CURENTLY*

Just finished my contract as an English teacher in Thailand. I've been teaching for a year in a primary school.
Then, after 3 years and half I went back to France to visit my family and old friends.

Last travel before going back to New Caledonia and join my boyfriend already there, I'm going to Japan.

JAPAN April- May 2018(one month)
I'm going to visit the Kansai area.
No plan. Just few ideas. Osaka/Nara/Kyoto and around.
I would enjoy this country and people as much as I can, connect with local people, understand their culture, improve my japanese, share knowledge and so on.

Back up
I've been a nurse for 7 years. I used to work mainly in hospital in the operating theater.
I wanted to change my way and become an English teacher.
It was a huge challenge but I tried to do my best and be on the ball.
Finally, I reached my goal and got my TEFL in Chiang Mai. I'm currently working in a government school in Kamphaeng Phet. I'm glad to have a chance to teach English conversation for primary students. This is another challenge for this year 😉.

Antonin :
Worker in IT telecommunication by my studies, I'm by my travel reconverting myself in permaculture, sustainable growing, general worker in a goal to can be one day self-efficient.
I'm really keen on attending a permaculture and eco building course next February in Thailand.

We spent one year in New Zealand and one year in Australia with goals to improve our English, discover new countries, different cultures and meet people.
We kept going our road trip in Asia and visited Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Laos.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

We like to meet people around the world, with their different cultures and experiences. We enjoy sharing our knowledge and we are always interested by learning new things.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Walking around a volcano in activity, in Tana, Vanuatu. It was amazing, we could see the explosion of magma just in front of us.

A walk on the Franz Joseph Glazier in the South Island in New Zealand. It was a beautiful experience. The Earth is so amazing and wonderful!

In a nutshell : Living at Barb's community in Tasmania, Rainbow gathering in Tassie, Tongariro crossing in New Zealand, Rah island with its amazing sunsets in Vanuatu, Kangaroo island and the fur seals, a photographic road-trip in Tokyo, diving with shark in Fidji, Sokothaï in Thailand, scuba diving with turtles in New Caledonia, ... and just have the chance to travel!
