CURRENT MISSION

15 months around the World.... 20 countries and.... how many future friends????

ABOUT ME

We both are French, 33 and 34, living in Milan.
We love to spend time with foreign people and discover the world trough their eyes and words!

In summer 2013 we left our job to live our dream: see the world!

We've been travelling around the world for 15 months! Departure on August 2013 starting from Caucasus (Georgia, Armenia) to Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, India, South East Asia, New Zealand, Fidji, USA, Mexico, Guatemala, Salvador, Brazzzzil, Ouganda, Rwanda, Madagascar and finally Ethiopia!

Of course this Round the World Trip was the perfect opportunity to meet people and obviously, thanks to CS it was!

And how should we understand their culture in the best way ever without the help of the couchsurfing community???

PHILOSOPHY

To live your dreams instead of dreaming your life!

Life is a game we play.. the only rule is trying to be fully satisfied with your life.

Could be by experiencing crazy stuff, laughing to tears with friends, making people happy, by sharing good moments, by feeling ecstatic about something just as a child, by fulfilling your own target..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We love to exchange with local people, learning from their culture but also bring pieces of our to different houses around the world!

We usually love to cook for our host, and try local stuff also: food tells a lot about a country and it's culture!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We started our first couchsurfing experiences in 2013 with our world trip. We only had great experiences in completely different countries such as Armenia, Iran, Uzbekistan, India, New Zealand, USA, Mexico, Salvador, Ouganda, Madagascar and Ethiopia!One thing in common : always amazing people!!! It makes us understand better how spontaneous and generous people can be in front of foreigner!

We really see the couchsurfing community as a great way to share, and meet passionated and passionating people.

Interests

I'll describe ourselves as curious people.

In an general manner, we like to experience all kind of 'open minding' stuff, that gives you another viewpoint on things.

I - Celine - like to learn foreign languages and be able to communicate with as many people as possible. I like to have long and interesting conversations, while walking around o while drinking a glass of red wine..
I like to learn things, I like to dedicate 100% of my time to a new passionating interest and drop it later on (I always do that..;)
I like to be completely surrounded by water. I like to taste new food, even the weirdest. I like to run when I forget that I'm running. I like.. I should stop now, you're getting bored.

Teach, Learn, Share

As french people we're proud and keen of "french cuisine"... surprising, isnt'it? ;)

We would be glad to share a french meal with foreign people just to confirm our reputation.. eh eh ;-)

And as people living in Italy and fan of fine food we would be able to cook you some typical italian recipe.

Moreover, if you're interested David would be happy to teach some close up magic tricks with cards...
