About Me

Update 2026: We are finally taking a long break in the form of a 7-month trip to share the taste of our past experiments with our two kids and pave the way for a new and open future! While our program is still in progress, we hope to take the time to get the feeling of Mongolia, China, Southeast Asia, and Indonesia.
We would love the opportunity to CouchSurf here and there to meet people!

I live with my partner and our two kids in French Brittany, working for an organisation dedicated to supporting organic farming. My husband works as a researcher in a public organisation as a GIS expert (map-making), primarily focusing on environmental issues.
In a past life (but very close in our hearts), we lived abroad for 5 years: Ladakh, Mongolia, Tajikistan. I worked at an NGO specializing in agricultural and energy-related activities, while my husband was a photographer and occasionally a GIS freelancer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Each and every one of the Couchsurfing occasions, whether as a host or a hosted guest, always turns out to be a great experience. We want to continue that journey!

And now, with older kids, we would like to offer them the opportunity to broaden their perspective by meeting new people and other kids in various places.
