HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING As we can... surfing, hosting... enjoying ! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE We have had great couchsurfing experiences, with this websites and other. We have met friendly persons, really welcoming. We love to learn more about a place with local people. They have so much more to say rather than books... So, we enjoyed to do the same, hosting and helping people to discover our place. You're welcome !

My Interests
HOBBIES We love to travel ! We want to meet people, discover new countries and learn about new cultures. Our last travel was a 4-months trip in Colombia with a mixed of wwoofing and roaming. We've both lived in other countries for studies, work and tourism... Each time, it was opportunities to be curious, to meet new friends, to learn about new cultures. We have loved it. We are fond of travelling by bike too. Each year, we enjoy to visit a part of France by bike thanks to "eurovelo trails". We're also cultivating our link to nature : walking, learning about edible plants and mushrooms, vegetable gardening, hiding horse, etc. We enjoy cooking too. We're eating local and organic food, as much as we can. We are good listeners of many kinds of music, from celtic music to jazz, rock, funk... We liked to sing and play music too. If you want to share with us, you're welcome ! We like to go to local concerts and festivals. Sylvain is doing radio, music programmation... I'm also involved in local politic.
