Hi everyone !
We are Arthur and Léa, a French couple travelling the world since January 2024 🌏

About us
We have 27/28 years old and we quit our jobs in France to discover the world backpacking 🎒
After 7 months in South America and 6 months in Asia, we are now in Africa for a long bikepacking trip 🚵🏼
We both speak French, English and Spanish fluently 🇫🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇸
We are open-minded, always positive and easy going. We love food and wine (as French people) and overall: travelling and discovering the world 🌍

Arthur 🏃🏻
Born in Le Mans (famour for its 24h car race) and raised by Britany parents, I studied in a business school in France and decided to quit my job in summer 2023 🏎️
I started my journey by hiking the entire length of New Zealand over 3000km during 5 months with my tent before travelling in South America and Asia 🇳🇿
I am a big fan of outdoor activities (trail running, hiking, skiing, surfing) 🥾
I visited more than 25 countries over the past few years 🗺️

Léa 👱🏼‍♀️
Born in the South of France, I had the chance to live in Spain, Mexico and China during my studies ! 🇪🇸🇲🇽🇨🇳
After a few years working in Paris, I met Arthur, completely fell in love, and decided to quit my job to discover the world with him ! "Happiness is only real when shared" and life is so amazing since we decided to get out of our comfort zone 🥰
A little about me: I love photography, dogs, cinema, gastronomy and sun ! I visited more than 40 countries in my life 📸
In the future, I really want to learn surfing and speak Italian but first, I am really excited by our bikepacking project 🚲

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We would love to meet people and discovering new cultures to make our travel an unforgettable experience 🥰

We are looking forward to meeting you and create memories together ☺️
