CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life

ABOUT ME

Coucou! We are three humans. We are simple, we love life and to laugh. We enjoy the simple things of life: learning new things, trying new food, hiking mountains, riding our bikes, meeting new people, jumping into a lake, smelling flowers, reading books, good discussions and we love to sleep. We also love chocolate cakes and good ice creams.
We had a little baby in July 2019, We are ready to make her discover the world!

PHILOSOPHY

After a degree in philosophy, we are still having a hard time to define what philosophy is... Just kidding!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By hosting people and being hosted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2007-2008, we had the chance to travel for one year in Latin America and met a lot of interesting people through Couchsurfing (thanks everyone!).

In 2014-2015, after staying quietly at home for 6 years (well, not so quietly!), we definitely felt it was time for us to hit the road again! We traveled for one year in East Asia, and again, with Couchsurfing. Thank you so much for being so generous with us!

We have also hosted many interesting people. We are happy to host when we are at home!
