About Me
ABOUT ME
We are a french couple. Unsurprisingly we love wine and cheese. After a one year and a half trip in South America (which ended by our wedding), we moved from Paris to Bordeaux in order to start a new life. We were both journalists. Greg just finished studies in organical farming in order to grow organic vegetables on his own. Caro teaches video material to teenagers in an association and realize reports with them.
Our common dream is to realize documentary films together. And it came true during our trip in Cusco, Peru. Now, we want to build our own project around organical farming and social issues.
We are quite calm, showing interest to people, we don't need a lot to be happy, and we prefer take our time instead of hurry up.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is beautiful. We just want to enjoy it and to share many experiences !
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We can host people in Bordeaux give some advices to visit un-touristic places, cook, go to a concert, have a drink and if we have time drive to the coast or the wine yard !
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We both had nice experiences in Europe separately. Then together in Brasil, Chile and Venezuela.
Everytime it was great and often ended with true friendships. We know what respect means, and we love to share a lot with our guests or hosts.
Interests
We prefer :
- calm than noise,
- doubt than certainty,
- walking than running,
- nature than traffic jam,
- cats than dogs (but we love dogs!)
- good meals than fast food,
- eating than making diet,
- drink than be drunk,
- dresses than pants (Caroline)
- boxers than briefs (Gregory)

- regrets than remorses...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A 16 months trip all over South America. Full of beauty, meetings, human adventures in hitchhiking and Couchsurfing.
Teach, Learn, Share
We can teach french language bases (useful for romantic issues and to deal in french jungle). We both love cooking and we can share some recipes. As we are specialised in video editing, we can show you our work. And spread our love and happiness !
What I Can Share with Hosts
We have a sofa in the living room so we can accomodate at least two people. We can offer you a walk in Bordeaux to discover untouristic places, meeting some friends. We also have a garden so you will enjoy the place ! And we'll try to share our love of french cheeses :)
