PHILOSOPHY

An optimistic "let it be"... hihi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To know new people and to feel the local atmosphere... Connaître des gens et s'imprégner de l'atmosphère local des endroits que nous allons visiter.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We had a couple of experiences in France, in Spain and in Bolivia... all of them were very interesting and constructive! We met people who changed our lives or our way of seeing the world, or who inspired us (by their freedom, hobbies or way to live)!! Thank you so much to all of them.

Interests

I work as a French teacher for literacy, especially with immigrants. I am doing a master degree in literature, and I studied Cinema so I'm interested in discovering the filmography of different cities or country... I'm also interested in literature and culture in general...

Josianne is interested in the way people live. She works as an animator of collective kitchen for communautary organism. She like discovering the typical regional food.

Josianne s'intéresse beaucoup à la façon de vivre des gens. Elle est animatrice de cuisines collectives pour un organisme communautaire. Comme elle travaillait dans le domaine de l'alimentation, elle aime découvrir les spécialités régionales.

Simone like ice cream! And playing with other children.
