About Me

We are a couple, Ben is 35 years old and me 28. We are French and we're living in Montreal, Canada.
We've started our travel around the world on 2015, January 1st.
It was the first long trip for Ben and he is happy to have discovered these countries and lots of people.
I had already traveled a bit and spent a year in Australia in 2006 but it's our first experience in CS.
We had the chance to travel Central America and South America crossing from Mexico to Brazil by bus.
We met lots of amazing people, many different cultures and plenty of culinary traditions as well cause yes, let's say it, we love food! And we are pretty good for cooking too!
Our amazing world tour is continuing in Asia from Viet Nam to India.
We didnt have the chance to do many couchsurfing experience but we intend to catch up!
We are also members of Workaway and we like to participate in volunteer missions. The last was in Cambodia and we've helped to build a home for a poor family, gave English lessons to the village public school and made a fundraising for the poor and orphaned children.
We have a small apartment downtown montreal and we invite you to come visit us on our return in November.
