Hey, I'm Simon and my girlfriend is Charlotte! We took a year off to travel and discover new places and new people. Our goal is to go to South America by sailing boats in order to travel as sustainable as possible, and to discover this continent through its very different cultures, landscapes and musics!

We plan to arrive in Colombia at the end of 2021 after different stops in Spain/Portugal, in the Canary islands, in Cabo Verde and in the Caribbean islands!

Along our way, we'd love to discover new places and new people with whom we could have good times and share nice stories :)

We're also interested by projects related to agriculture, construction or anything connected to local cultures and/or sustainability.

Here are a few lines to describe ourselves:

Charlotte, 25 years old, is passionate about sustainable architecture and connections between buildings, people and their environment. She really enjoy joining participative construction projects, during which she likes to learn and exchange with other people. She loves sport and its values of sharing and surpassing ourselves. She'll be more than happy to join soccer games, hiking adventures or martial arts performances! She also likes quiet times to listen to music or share a glass of wine/beer or anything else you would like us to discover.

Always enthusiastic, Simon 24 ans, I'm very interested by all alternative way of living and by more sustainable transports, and really curious to discover new cultures! I love to cook all kind of recipes, and even sometimes to invent new ones based on the food I have. I really enjoy forests and being surrounded by nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We like to meet new people, exchange on everyone's experiences, knowledges and feelings. We're looking for people who want to live in a more respectful and peaceful world for people and for the environment.

We speak French, English and Spanish and we also like all kind of animals.
