ABOUT ME

We are a couple, aged of 37 and 38 years old.
We love showing the natural treasures of our region, which is wonderful. And don't hope to sleep early : when we meet people from other countries we can't stop talking about their country during hours ;o)
If you want to meet other people living here, our friends would be happy to join us to chat... a lot of them work in museums or cultural associations.
And just to be clear, as some people seem to have bad cliches about that : yes we are a gay couple, but we live together for more than 12 years, and we don't look for any kind of "physical" relationship with anyone.

PHILOSOPHY

We learnt during the past years to appreciate what we live when we're living it. We are not the kind of people being obsessed with money, how we'll live in the future. We just need friends to talk with, new things to learn everyday, books, fresh and pure air... and we're happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We already welcomed some couchsurfers and have always had a very good feeling and funny times :o)

Interests

I'm fond of linguistics and philology. I love hiking and trying to learn as much as I can about the different plants we have in the wild nature here, and their benefits as medical herbs and kitchen herbs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Deciding to leave the big city to live here in our little valley, away from the crowds and noises... that is amazing 😃

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach : French culture, cuisine and language / all the good hiking trails in the natural park we live in.

Learn : languages / cultures from all around the world.

Share : a nice evening on our terrace / tips about good places to swim in the rivers in the surroundings / my knowledge of the region (I'm the director of the tourist board).

I am the director of the tourist board of the area, so I can share a lot of advices about what to do and see in the surroundings 😊
