We are Pauline and Yannis, 23, we are French and we live together in Paris. We both graduated in June 2014, Pauline in history of cinema and Yannis in History, politics and sociology. After a few months working (Pauline in a film distribution company, Yannis in a newspaper as a musical critic), we decided to travel together. We already visited several places in Europe, but we really want to take our time in a longer trip, further than everything we've done yet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We planned to travel in South America and in the United States, from february 2015 to June. Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile... and California! Meeting local people is the best way to discover the places we visit, and we'd like to improve our Spanish and learn Portuguese so Couchsurfing is perfect :)
We would love to be part of this great traveler community! All these people who are ready to meet and help each other give us faith in the human being.

Interests

Pauline : Cinema, of course! And books, art, music... If I had time and money, I would go to the cinema everyday, it's magic.
I also love eating, and I think that it will be an important part of our trip!
I love cats.

Yannis : Football. Pauline says I'm crazy about it. I also love music, both playing it (with a guitar) or listening to it !
