We are Ornella and Sophie we are 25 and 26 and we are from the west of France (1hour far from Nantes). We know each other for ages (almost 15 years), we met in high school and we've never really been apart since.

Ornella studied foreign languages and international trade at uni, then she went to North Wales to be a french assistant in a senior school for an academic year. Then she worked as a receptionist in a holiday village.

Sophie studied chiropody in Paris and is currently living in Montpellier and working as a cook in an Italian restaurant (yes we know cooking has nothing to do with chiropody ahahah!). She also took part in a cooking contest, she was the only girl and she won :)!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The two main words are : discovering and sharing!
We are preparing our trip to South America together. We are planing to leave France on March 29th, for 6 months. We'll land in Argentina, and then go to Chili, Peru, Bolivia, and Mexico!
We have a tight budget and we think that it's more enriching to be housed by local people. We want to discover as many things and people as possible so couch surfing is the best way to do this. Of course, we will also be happy to share our culture with you - remember Sophie is a cook, if you like food you'll love her ahah! That's why we are travelling : to discover and share!

Interests

I like electronic music but not the commercial kind of it :) I love spending a whole night in an electronic music party dancing, and loosing myself into the music, you just think about nothing else and you dance all night!
