ABOUT ME
Hi there !
We are a French-Chinese couple, we met while working in Singapore where we lived for 5 years. We left Singapore in June to do a 6 months back packing trip in Europe and Africa before we settle down in China.
During our trip, we wish to discover the cultures by meeting people and hanging out with them, sharing dinners and drinking beers and wine :-)
We are quite active, we do sport often, like diving, running, wind surfing, trekking, ocean canoeing, etc
PHILOSOPHY
DYI
.
To learn the maximum of languages in my life, even though I am quite lazy at this at the moment...
To try to understand customs, even though I don't accept some of these
