***Presentation:
Hello! Our name are Émilie and Matthieu. We are a French-Swiss couple. We leave in the pre-Alps. For our honeymoon, we are travelling from France to Japan for a year.

For the moment we crossed France, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, China & South Korea.

***Other interests:
Additional to cyclitouring, we like rock climbing, sleeping outdoors, hilly landscape, history, and museum. We also love dancing (rock, Lindy hop, and some salsa) so we love rock and jazz song.

***Language :
We are fluent in English & French and can speak some German and Matthieu can speak a little bit of Spanish.

*** Recommandation:
We do not have a lot of recommandation on Couchsurfing as we usually use warmshower (like Couchsurfing for cycle touring) but it seems there is not so much people around here using it. So we want to try Couchsurfing more.
