CURRENT MISSION To live happy in Normandy! ABOUT ME Justine, 32 and Gautier, 34. We both have been travelling around the world for quite a few years. Justine worked as a marine biologist and Gautier as an agricultural engineer. This is how we met in Vietnam seven years ago... After one last epic travel across the Americas we decided on summer 2015 to go back to the roots and settle in homeland Normandy. Settled down okay, but adventure goes on... First of all we have a very cute two y-o girl named Lorette that brings joy to the place... And we have many projects! Gautier took over the family farm and turned it organic, Justine is a teacher in high school. We are also planning on producing and selling our own cheese and restoring our beautiful 400 yo house. We hope to enhance the local cultural life and much more... And now that it's a bit harder for us to travel, we hope to bring the world into our home. Come and meet us!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
