Hi, Hola, Ciao, Hey!

We are two PhD students in Plant Biology (researchers), so we are quite fond of plants 😁🌺 We love discovering the world, discussing, and sharing with other people and cultures. Couchsurfing is perfect for that!

A few years ago, we did a road trip by hitchhiking through Western Europe (Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Switzerland) and we slept in several Couchsurfers' houses, but we stopped before reaching Poland! So it's time to rectify that, ehe 😊

We both love listening to music but also playing it with friends. We enjoy cooking for others and inviting them into our home. If you come one day, we will be delighted to prepare a vegetarian meal for you!

About Eva: I'm trying to stay positive and cheerful in any situation—enjoying the present! 🌸🌞 I’m doing my PhD on Petunia flowers and development, and I’m living in Lyon.

About Max: Fan of anything music, nature or food related ! I am doing my PhD on agronomy in Paris.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I'm travelling in a country I love discovering the culture and the habits of local people. I also want to share memories, experiences and good vibes!

Interests

My philosophy:
The most important thing is not the destination, but the memories you make along the way.
I saw this sentence on another CS profile and this is exactly what I think (yeeeah it is plagiarism... I prefer to say "it inspired me" 😇)

• arts
• culture
• theater
• music festivals
• music
• biology
• science
• museums
• botanical gardens
• botany
• a little bit of everything

Music, Movies, and Books

J-pop, brassband, pop (do you know Aurora? No? Try it ;-) ), classical music, jazz, rock, a little bit of everything, the world without music is impossible!

I love Miyazaki's movies (and plenty of other movies but there are too much)

I read various kind of books (philosophy, novel, ...) it depends of my mood! You want to read a Frech Book ? I can advice you "The little Prince" of Antoine de St Exupéry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went in a two-month roadtrip across Europe mostly by hitchhiking, camping and couchsurfing.

I did a seven-month trip across Eastern Asia (Thailande, Laos, Nepal and Vietnam) alone, by hitchhiking and couchsurfing to discover the culture and the rainforest!

Go on a trek for 6 days in the Himalayan mountains.

Did a 10-days Vipassana meditation in Thailand.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning from other people because I think you can learn and evolve during all your life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can host in my small student flat.
I will be happy to host and offer a good vegetarian dinner to people from over the world.
