About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Dialogue is the way we will change the world.

ABOUT ME

Audrey was born in 1981 and Ludovic in 1984. We met during our studies in 2005. Audrey is very active and dynamic, she never stops making things. She likes to make clothes, accesories by herself. Ludo likes reading, playing piano, he is more patient and can be a real joker.

We have done a one year trip with 2 friends, called "Dialogue sur Terre" (Dialogue on Earth), during which we have met people in 14 villages in Asia and Africa, in order to understand their way of life, how they care with nature and how happy they are. More information about this project in www.dialoguesurterre.fr

We are now living near Lyon (15km north), in a cohousing project : we are renovating an old farm to make 7 flats (ours is finished since 2013), and a lot of common spaces : big kitchen, guest rooms, washing machine room, etc. More information in http://leschouxlents.potager.org/

Since june 2013 we have a wonderfull little daughter : Margot. And since 2016 a wonderfull boy : Dorian.

PHILOSOPHY

We are both very inspired by buddhism. At the beginning of 2010, we have been in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan and India, where we have learnt a lot about this spirituality. Since this period, we meditate each morning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Our flat is in a big house. If our neighbours are not there, we can host some people, espacially during week.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2008 - 2011 : when we lived in Lyon Villeurbanne, we've received quite a lot of couchsurfers with our flat mates.

2008 : in Bosnia we were received by very friendly people in Sarajevo.

2009-2010 : during a one year trip, we have been hosted by at least 15 couchsurfers in Asia and Africa.

Since 2013 : we can receive in St Germain au Mont d'Or, but not so many people are interessed by this place :)
