About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling Australia for 2 months, meet crazy people and spread good mood around us!

ABOUT ME

Hi all ! We are a French couple wanting to make holiday for 2 months around Australia before flying back to our country. We are also very good friends, which makes our life more funny and enjoyable...almost no fights, pretty much fun !

I (Bénédicte) am 23 and Nicolas is 26. We arrived in Sydney 5 months ago to do my "end of studies internship" (thus I don't win any money despite the work I am doing :-( which is sad while being in this wonderful country, but fortunately I kept a bit of my previous student jobs !) and Nico went to an English school during the first 5 weeks and has been working very hard since then to get money for his trip.

PHILOSOPHY

Some French says we could translate like this: "Future belongs to those who get up early", "why using an easy way when we can use the complicated one!", "positive brings just positive", "Sea, friends and sun!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As soon as we get a flat we will for sure be good hosts for people wanting to visit our country! We already started here...but our host was a clandestine one since we were normally not really allowed to let someone sleep at home (...yes...the landlord didn't wanna pay 10$ more in his bills, even if he steals us loads of money each week ! :-))

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fairly new for the moment...We've hosted lots of friends, but no traveler for the moment

Interests

Béné : "I need sun, music and friends to feel good! Otherwise I love reading when I've got some free time (the train here was really good, I could devour a good big book in a few days for the first time in many years!) I love playing volley ball, badminton, riding horses and all other sports you need someone to do with you...hate being alone! I would like to be able to travel my whole life, going somewhere new everyday...and speaking foreign languages, sharing travel experiences and discovering new cultures are one of my favorite hobbies!"

Nico is a kind of quite timid at first sight, but very funny and not shy at all when you start speaking to him and share the same interests/ as him! He can watch TV and movies for quite a long time (which I can't!:-)) and always knows what will happen in them while I never understand anything because I am singing for myself or thinking about something else! He is a big fan of rugby, also plays football, loves surfing (but fears to be eaten by a shark!), taking the sun, having a bier and partying with his buddies in his small home swimming pool!

Oh, and we love singing under the shower or when Nico does the dishes!

Music, Movies, and Books

Books : Late Night Thoughts, Barjavel; liptick Jungle Candace Buschnell; Viou, Troyat (Béné), Ring of Lords and comic strips (Nico)

Music: Almost everything apart from electro, techno and rap/hip hop music... Ben Harper, Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Skin, Alanis Morissette, K's Choice, The Beatles, Jacques Brel, Barbara, Jean Ferrat, etc (we love singing old French songs!), Céline Dion and many more!

Movies...I think there are too many, Nico loves almost all of them. One I hated was Bluberry or 8 wives, these ones were really crap!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We've seen Watsons Bay which is a part of Sydney and is really a wonderful place. Nico surfed with dolphins a few weeks ago (he was not quite relax when they arrived...you guess what he thought it was! :-)), he flew in a hot-air ballon (i'm still waiting for his father to take me with him once!). My trip to Canada 14 years ago was an unforgettable experience.

And...they are quite amazing people here in Sydney...:-)

The most amazing part of our life is starting soon!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Nico can teach you how to imitate the dolphin! I swear, amazing! He can also do small rounds while breathing out smoke (although he quited a year ago!).

I can cook delicious meals...that's why Nico doesn't leave me!
