About Me

CURRENT MISSION

We traveled from Paris overland across Europe and Asia, all the way to Papua New Guinea and Australia, and back with the Trans-Siberian Railroad! We set up for a year, but ended up traveling for 27 months! No plane, just trains and buses!

We currently live in Paris but Olivier continues to travel a lot for his job as a tropical ecologist working on tropical forests.

ABOUT ME

Travelin', travelin', and travelin'! Discover the world, know it, love it, save it!

PHILOSOPHY

We don't travel because there's something to see, just to be there and see how people live. All places are interesting!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far we've been meeting people on the way in all the countries we've traveled, and now even more through Couchsurfing. Hopefully we can host back when we have a home of our own after this trip!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first one was in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, through personal connections: "the house of love and happiness". Thank you so much Vero for the wonderful week!
And after that many other in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Port Moresby, Cairns, Vladivostok...
