CURRENT MISSION

To convince the whole world french people can welcome foreigners !

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone, we are Christophe and Yulia, a nice international couple currently living in St Sebastien/Loire, close to Nantes.

Christophe is French, but he is not so mean and snob... and Yulia is Ukrainian and definitely not into vodka !!!
You have understood, although we both love our own countries, we are far from the well spread stereotypes.

Kind, honest, funny and passionated.... it's quite a good summary of who we are.

Both deeply into cooking... don't you think there's nothing surprising for a french guy ???(I confess it's more unusual for an Ukrainian girl). We love to mix various flavours and styles to create a multicultural and original food... which certainly embodies our couple !

We also love art, music, cinema, history (just for Christophe) and culture.

Our travel style ? backpack in the deep countryside to meet genuine people or having a tea in a trendy pub.... whatever.

Oh, by the way, if you want to stay at our place, we'll kindly ask you to insert the word "Hara Kiri" in your mail... then it would garantee us we'll not be part of a copy/paste intensive mailing, and that at least you have read our profile (then your purpose should be both to find a place to sleep but also to meet nice personnalities).

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever your feelings and thoughts, only actions make history !
