We are a french couple (Lise & Laurent ) living on the road for more than 1 year now. We left France in July 2014 to drive the Americas from Canada to Argentina with our Toyota LandCruiser named Dumbo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals of course, learning about their life, sharing our vision of the world
(but let's be honnest, also to travel cheeper)
We hope that we will be able to return everything once we'll have our own couch somewhere!

Interests

Travelling of course, discovering, reading, taking pictures, doing nothing sometimes, exchanging, laughing, having a good conversation with a beer in the hand

• beer
• reading
• traveling
• blogging

Music, Movies, and Books

We listen to a lot of different things, being two helps a lot! Our favorite goes probably to pop/rock but you can find almost everything in our playlist : country, old french songs from the 80's, folk, reggae...
About movies it's quite the same Laurent loves aliens and zombies stuff and I'm a big fan of Walt Disney (that's the child living inside me), we watch almost everything.
Laurent is a big fan of Maxime Chattam's book and I have to admit that it is quite good. On my side I like fiction book in a reality context (I recently read Victoria Hislop's "The Thread" ("Le fil des souvenirs"), a really good one) and also police novel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit everything to live on the road in a car.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can teach you french if you want and also explain you that you don't need a lot of money to travel the world!
