About Me

CURRENT MISSION

***UPDATE AUGUST 2021***
We left Switzerland our home country the 1st of August for an endless motorbike trip around the world without timing or itinerary. We travel slowly and our goal is to meet people/association/ngo and share skills and knowledge. Always happy to help and share we are looking forward meeting you and to share some good time with you :) Check ou Instagram for fresh News : www.instagram.com/takemeeverywhere
***UPDATE AUGUST 2021***

Traveling the world and meeting local people and other travelers. Share stories, good moments and die with awesome memories instead of unachieved dreams.

In 2015 we spend 7 months in a small village in Kerala, Southern India. Vincent promoted an eco resort based on bamboo construction, sustainable living and community work. Nathalia taught English in different schools and organized various activities for the children of the village.

After this amazing experience we were ready to begin a new chapter in our life. We flew to the Canary's Island (Spain) and met a retired couple for a new experience. During 5 months we learned with them how to sail in the Canary’s, Cape Verde and finally Brazil. We crossed the Atlantic and spent some days in Fernando de Noronha (Brazil). End of March 2016 we arrived in Brazil. After 2 months and a half we went to Peru and then Colombia !

In Bogota we bought a tandem bicycle and begin to cruise Colombia on our bike ! If you want to discover our pictures & travel stories feel free to have a look here : www.instagram.com/takemeeverywhere/

We love to meet interesting people like you folks!

Open mind ! Doesn't matter where we sleep, what we eat or where we are, but with who we are! "Happiness only real when shared with openhearted persons".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have a nice flat to share. 500 meters (6mn by walk) from the train station of Sierre/Siders. We can offer you a private room with private bathroom :) and of course lot of fun!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Firstly, during our world tour we heard about CouchSurfing and experienced it in Hong Kong. It was really worth it to exchange with people living their. We think it's more interesting and authentic to stay with people in their house that in a guest house without direct contact with locals. Secondly, during our stay in Brazil we had AWESOME CS experiences in every places we've been. THANKS CS!
