Travelling the world one step at a time :)

ABOUT ME

Vincent was born near Paris, but he grew up in Biarritz in the South West of France. He completed a diploma in jewelry making, then in pastry. He's now working as web developer. He lived in Barcelona to learn spanish and finally moved to Canada. He first lived in Montreal around 6 months, moved in Vancouver during an other 6 months to finally come back and stay in Montreal for good. He is 36 years old.

Sarah was born near Montreal and always lived in her beloved city. She has a bachelor in International Studies from the University of Montreal. She works as assistant in a big outdoor gear and travel equipment shop. She is 28 years old.

We are a couple since more than 7 years now. We both traveled separately : London and Austria for Vincent. Guatemala, Morocco, Ecuador and Ireland for Sarah. And together we visited Costa Rica, France, Spain, Mexico, Sweden, Iceland and USA (Boston, Chicago, New York, Cape Cod, Orlando). We sure plan a lot of trips for the next years!

We like nature : hiking (in Québec, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York States), lakes, rafting, biking, kayaking, etc. Also museums, restaurants, terrace with a good ambiance and COFFEE!

PHILOSOPHY

" Voyager n’est pas une question de chance, hormis celle d’être né dans un pays qui le permet. Non, c’est surtout de la motivation, de la volonté et des sacrifices. Une question de priorités."
- Le Manifeste du Voyageur

"Qui veut faire quelque chose trouve un moyen, qui ne veut rien faire trouve une excuse."

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, we participate in Couchsurfing more as host. Still, we had an amazing experience as guests in Cape Cod and will totally use it if the opportunity arises.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As we travel less for the moment, we are able to accomodate other travelers throught their journeys. We met awesome people with open mind and passed a good time with each one of them!
