About Me

Hola !
Somos Sarah y François, nacimos y crecimos en Nantes, Francia.
Fin de Septiembre 2019 vamos de vacaciones por un ano con el sueno de descubrir otras maniera de vivir en clima tropical, especialmente en Colombia y Ecuador.
.
Deseamos experimentar una aventura con auténticos encuentros, caminatas y trabajo en campos.
Lo que buscamos con Workaway :
- encontrar a personas abiertas, listas para compartir loro cotidiano
- vivir una inmersión completa en el modo de vida local
- participar en los proyectos económicos - sociales - agrarios de los lugares que nos dan la bienvenida.
.
Nos gusta coger el tiempo de viajar ; la idea no es de ir deprisa de lugares en lugares para recorrer el mas fotos que posible. Al reverse, queremos quedar bastante tiempo para conocer a las gente y a los campos, para sentirse un poco como habitante (aunque sabemos que no es en un mes que se encuentra de verdad este sentido...).
.
En concreto, aquí están la temáticas que nos gustarían explorar trabajando en varios campos :
* energía renovable
* medicina tradicional (plantas,...)
* culturas indígenas
* agricultura regenerativa
* forestación sostenible
* bio-construcción
* educación
* comunidades intencionales, dinámica de grupo
* diseno de permacultura
* ... cualquier cosa que nos sorprende !
.
Esperando encontrarlos,
Que les vaya bien !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the next year, I will essentially ask for couches during my trip to south America.
But otherwirse, I like hosting travellers (even if I never get a request in Nantes, surprisingly).
I also used CS a lot of time in South America and in Europe (Italy, Slovenia), so I'm glad to be able to give what I got earlier!
_____

I prefer to advise my guests that I expect from you original stories and the sense of humor, as well as a great sociability! That's not too much? Be aware, these are the conditions to obtain the hot shower.... haha!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One month in Argentina, then an Erasmus in Trieste, just a bit in France. I prefer unplaned nights :)

Interests

I'm crazy about hiking, discovering the nature, cultures (even mine!), spiritualities, but overall adventures!
Walking in a beautiful landscape with friends, your house on your back, free to go everywhere, meet everyone: here we are!!

  • hiking
  • agriculture
  • languages
  • medicine
  • permaculture
  • humor
  • construction
  • governance
  • soil

  • sociocracy

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Red hot chili pepers, Adele, Revolver, Herman dune, Cat Stevens, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Lynyrd Skynyrd, R.E.M., Dire Straits, Georges Brassens, L.E.J., Danakil, Namaan, Medicine for the people, LEJ, Bob Marley, ...

Movies: Lord of the rings and star wars of course, "lock, stock and two smocking barrels", "Welcome to Gattaca", Blade Runner, lots of Quentin Tarantino's films and also Cohen's brothers, French fun movies, historical movie too (although I don't konw so much)

Books: Once upon a time, I used to read heroic frantasy and I was totally crazy about it, but it's over now :)
More recently, I liked: "Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A four month long trip in South America, close to the locals
Start an association with a friend in our engineering school :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Be aware and remind ever that we are lucky, very lucky to travel and afford such cost.
Sharing this chance to the others by helping, giving a hand few days, giving them a smile is for me a (the?) way to become "legitimate" of this good fortune.
Moreover it brings even more than expected.
Try to come back home carrying something more in your heart, your soul.
