About Me

We are a couple who have been travelling around Africa for the past two years (2014-2015) doing photographic & videographic work. We are now back in Europe(mostly France -> Paris, Bordeaux, Nimes), travelling and working. We are new on Couchsurfing and think it is a wonderful way to meet new people and experience new places to the fullest!
We are very sociable, respectful people, who love making new friends and discovering new places :)

We also have a website showcasing our adventures and more, that you can check out: www.driftingvisual.com

*Philosophy*

"Be yourself"

Clean people, we help with cleaning, we travel with our own towels. We are very respectful, positive, grateful and happy people, enjoying every moments of our travel

We mostly travel by bus and co-voiturage to be able to capture every moments of the way

During our travel, we were almost never alone, always with friends we met along the road, sharing few hours of buses, a beer or a meal, and sometimes days or weeks

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are on Couch Surfing to meet local people,
to learn about their lives, their country/city, the history of the region.
It is an inspiring way to travel and meeting new people.

because it's easy and it seems like the best way to travel and experience more !
