This is a couple's account - for Lisa and Pol - as we are (always) traveling together :)

Leaving everything behind to go explore this world. We just came back from a 300-day journey across Africa, from Cairo to Cape Town followed by a journey across Asia for 6 months.

We're trying to capture this experience for our friends and family back home (and anyone interested really) and in so, are pretty active on social media with these handles :

Lisa is slovak but studied at an american business school, so she is fluent in english, and speaks pretty good french as she spent the last two years living in Paris with Pol.
Even though she studied business, she specialized in hospitality industry, especially in luxury hotels. She worked in the USA, Slovakia and France for different hotels for various departments from housekeeping , reception to restaurant manager.
She's an animal and nature lover, enjoys horse riding and lately her passion is in decoration; design and DIY projects.

Pol is half french half catalan, he has a passion for learning new languages and is looking forward to language exchanges. He studied computer science and worked in the field for 4 years, making apps and websites. He also loves adrenaline, he is a licensed skydiver (with over 100 jumps) and holds a pilot license.

We are on a journey to connect with people around the world, learn and share skills, languages and laughter :)

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
