CURRENT MISSION

Learn Ukulele while hichiking around the world!

ABOUT ME

We are a couple, itching to travel, passionate about science and in love with nature. We are curious and we love to laugh, read, cook and camp in the wilderness.

We are both biologists and we left our jobs to hitchhike the world and meet new people. We travel to grow as new persons, to broaden our minds, to fight stereotypes, and to see as many things as possible.

During this trip we are carrying out an environmental education and scientific popularization project on the theme of soil.

Despite everything it provides us with, soil is generally misused. The realization of its destruction and the consequent risks is quite recent.
We would like to use our trip to make an inventory of this realization by meeting those who interact with soil, farmers, scientists, gardeners and so on. We will seek to share their vision of soil and its future through a series of portraits and articles published on our blog.

Check out our blog on regardssurlesol.wordpress.com. It's in french, sorry!

By the way, we try to be more active on the website Bewelcome.org, as we agree more on their policy than on Couchsurfing's term and conditions. You can check our profile there too : http://www.bewelcome.org/members/noemie_gaetan It is still a small community, let's make it more lively!

It doesn't matter how slow you go, as long as you don't stop. - Confucius

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

we are coming to your house! ^^,

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far we hosted only once, but since last april, we have been almost only couchsurfing and camping. We slept in an old factory, we had luxury couches, we slept in extremly tiny flats, in old traditional houses, or on futon,... only great experiences! It's also a good way to see how are houses in others country and experience people's lifestyle. The best way to meet intersting people and make new experiences!

Books : some of our favourite authors are Steinbeck, Haruki Murakami, Philip. K. Dick, John Irving, Daniel Pennac, Dan Simmons, and so many more, its hard to be exhaustive :) We travel with a complete library...

And movies: we like horror movies (especially Gaëtan!), Cohen brother's, Animation (japanese or Disney). Myazaki (Princess Monoke, Nausicaa <3) and asian cinema in general, bad movies, classic movies, and sometimes even blockbusters...
Sadly lately we don't have lot of time to watch movies, so we are always happy to watch one! (makes us happy, give us movie (any kind) and pop corn!)

教，学，和分享

We are eager to learn and discover many things! As said above we are willing to learn what people think of soil. But we hope that this will open us doors to other opportunities. Farming, environmental protection, gardening, outdoor activities, hiking, and how people party all over the world!

Oh, and we love cooking and discover new ingredients.

We can make you discover about our culture, french language, and also we can share our secret reciepes as we both love cooking.
