About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Raising a great addition to human kind: my baby!

ABOUT ME
We are positive, flexible and we love outdoor activities! We are quiet (maybe less since we are 3, though), and, when traveling, we prefer to really discover a small part of a country, and meet people, than running all over it and just have short glimpse (quality rather than quantity!)
Marine loves to read, climb, write, draw and walk, Daniele loves martial arts.
Dario currently loves trains.
We have a lovely cat named Pitchou.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to give as much as people gave me in travel!
We like hosting, and Marine, who has more holidays than Daniele, also surf couched around the world! :) since we became parents and since covid, and also linked to global warming, we are not ready to plan long distance travel. We enjoy a lot trips by train for now, but we are even more happy to welcome travelers from far far away!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Marine surfed in Norway, Bulgaria, US, Turkey, Sweden, Georgia, Canada and we hosted people from Argentina, US, Taiwan, Germany, etc.
I met incredible people during travel wich offered me their couch. I think Couchsurfing is Intelligent way to meet people from the country, more human and definitely the best way to see more than the beaten paths where drives you the guide book(wich is less fascinating than true life!!!)
Daniele is beginner on CS!

Interests

Music (celtic, pop, world, blues..) Writing (NaNoWriMo!), Drawing, running (half marathons, and marathons) travel, reading (travels story such as Mike Horn or Sylvain Tesson), movies, volunteer work (red cross)...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Running a marathon on the ice cap in Greenland, hiking the Mount St Helens, the sunrise at Smith rock, sailing with orcas :)
More recently I organised a 1140 km relay from Ventimiglia to Calais to raise money for an organisation which help refugees in Calais and making bounds between NGO in France which help refugees who crossed the Alps. I would be happy to talk about it with you, it was such an incredible experience. More than 150 walkers joined to assure the relay from south east of France to north.

Teach, Learn, Share

We want to learn about everything!!! Marine can teach french cooking as crêpe or mousse au chocolat hmmm!!! And also some things for drawing! I can teach a little bit french! Daniele can teach Italiano and he started to learn chinese! And he is an amazing tiramisu maker.
