Hi! I’m Louna, 28 years old, half Belgian and half French. I spent most of my life in France before moving to Canada three years ago, where I worked in the film industry creating visual effects for movies and TV shows. I’m currently taking a break from that life and went on a big adventure with my boyfriend Nathanael. We left for Thailand 9 months ago on a one-way ticket, with no real plan, just going with the flow and seeing where the road would take us. It’s now been over 9 months on the road: hitchhiking through Southeast Asia, exploring the landscapes of South America, and slowly making our way back to Montreal, trying to avoid flights as much as possible so we can experience everything in between and meet people we would’ve missed otherwise. The last part of our trip is ahead of us: a one-month road trip through the USA, where we hope to camp a lot and enjoy outdoor hikes and adventures. It’s my first time traveling like this, without planning everything in advance. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and prove to myself that I can handle the unexpected. Nathanael hasn’t traveled much before. He started from scratch in English and struggles sometimes, but he’s doing his best and improving every day. We love experiencing life more directly: hitchhiking, meeting locals, and learning from people rather than just visiting tourist spots. I truly think Couchsurfing is an amazing way to do that, especially since I grew up seeing my parents host many strangers through a similar system before I even knew this app existed. We’re easy-going, respectful, and very grateful for any kind of help or encounter along the way :)
