About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To realise some of our craziest dreams

ABOUT ME

We are two, we are small and we are fun (at least, we laugh at each other's jokes!)
We like to travel, to eat and to party and we decided to make it a priority in our life.
So, now, we are homeless for at least two years, but getting rich of experiences and great memories while traveling around the world.
And making new friends, by sharing different cultures and ways of living and thinking, is definitely a part of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We now have been hosted 5 times and it has always been good experiences so far.

Interests

Most of our interests are in common: photography, travels (in case you didn't get it), cinema and litterature (more details below), good dinners and good wines to share with friends, ecology, design...
And when we arrive in a new city, we like to have a long walk through it, to have a look at its architecture and its inhabitants, to wander in its museums and galleries, and to discover anything that is new for our senses (fashion, language, food, etc)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We have been jumping off a plane from 15000 feet; diving with whale sharks. We have been eating scorpions, worms, ants, snakes (even turtles); trekking 11 days in the Himalayas without any mountaineering experience. We have been fighting in a Mongolian wrestling tournament.
But the craziest thing we have done so far was to leave everything (job, appartment, family and friends) to start a new way of living : Backpacking around the world. And we hope the most amazing things are still to come.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can Teach you some french recipies, how to begin the Rubik's Cube (but not how to finish it), a few magic tricks, french slang, rugby rules ...
We can Share about travel. We can give a lot of advices about places to see, to rest, to avoid around the world (for the moment mostly in Asia and Oceania) and we hope you can give us good tips about the place you live and places you've been.
And we can share about cinema and food as well (for hours!).
About Learning we would be happy to learn about anything. Can you teach how to play Ukulele ?
