Hello everyone!
We are a young couple from Lyon / Chamonix, France!

My name is Clementine (24) and I am about to travel with Yoann (27) through the East Coast of the USA for two months and a half, starting September 2015.

We both work in Arts, especially video and graphic design.

Yoann also plays music in his band and we share the same passion for Cinema, and Arts in general. But we also LOVE to travel to MEET PEOPLE!

Our goal during this trip is to explore and learn more about the american culture and most of all, spend some time with the people who are living there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's more "rewarding" for us to learn from people in the country we visit than moving from place to place without sharing anything with the inhabitants.
Plus, we are used to travel as backpackers (Australia, England, Germany, China...) and it's important for us to behave with respect to the people who welcome us in their home.

We live in a humble flat in Lyon, with a couch in it, and you're more than welcome if you want to spend the night !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Myself :
I've been kidnapped, enchained, and murdered by a familly of psychos...............not for real, for a part in a short movie that was broadcast in festivals all around the world. :)

I felt the hand of Forest Whitaker shaking mine. And it was enough to get me happy.
