Hi the world !  I'm 承恵 - Jōe - but everybody call me joy I'm just a zen monk walking a happy way. I'm vegetarian but very easy going, so please no pressure, don't change your lifestyle for me, i will adapt naturally 🌻             What about YOU ?                           😁 ---------------------------------------- 🐒 About this crazy big joyful place i now call "Home" : With a local friend from Madagascar, we made our dream come true and built our own orphanage 6 years ago. Since, we kept welcoming more and more kids, but also volunteers and travelers. So we'll very certainly host you if you ask for it, and if you're aware that this place is pretty special. It's not like an individual silent house - eventhough you'll probably have a private bedroom. There is a lot of life going on when the kids aren't at school. It's definitely an opportunity for anybody to live a simple and beautiful human experience. Often, people leave our nest changed. Or just don't want to leave 🌞 There are no specific rules other than common sense, and to go out to smoke. Just be an inspiration, an example and have fun. 🤠 You're not a volunteer, so we don't expect from you that you work in any way ; food and bed will be provided freely, because that's a world like this that we want to built with them , but if you feel like getting involve in some task, like helping with their homeworks, cooking some food from your country, or anything you'd like, it will be very welcomed. (In the past, we only had one bad experience with a guest, so we will trust you, but it would be nice if you have some references and some particular motivation to come to that orphanage. ... and just be a little patient for the answer please, while being on the way myself it's not always easy go get in touch with people from far.) As you could understand if you read until here, i'm not present in person in Madagascar at that time. It is my friend and our family who'll receive you, i'm just a bridge. 🌉 [Few more informations about it, such as the address, on the "home" page.]

Hi! Welcome on my profil 😊 I'm a young pharmacist specialised in toxicology and I'm on couchsurfing to meet people and travel. I'm from Lyon (the best city in the world !) and there are 2 years, I was in Paris, where I had the chance to host my first couchsurfers. Unfortunately, I left Paris in December 2020 so I'm unable to host you there anymore (even if I am sure, Emily would have been super happy to eat fresh croissants and « omelettes du fromage » at mine). Right now, I'm in Madagascar. I work for a phytoparmaceutical firm and support a NGO. But sometimes, i go back in France. I have one extra room in my flat so I'm able to host one person or one couple 😊 I‘ll be super happy to meet you and if we don’t, I hope your experience on couchsurfing will be as nice as mine 😉

Hi there! I’m Sarah. Based in China, but my heart is always on the road. I’m a firm believer that the best way to see the world is through the eyes of the people who live there. I’m happily married and traveling is our shared passion. I love discovering hidden gems, local textiles, and the stories behind every tradition. Let’s swap stories and explore the unknown together!
