Hello everyone, we are a couple that live in Nantes. Servane is mostly running the account ;)

I am an enthousiast devoting most of her free time towards eco-friendly projects and lifestyle. I like to meet new people and exchange cultural backgrounds.

We like : sewing, gardening, reading (sci-fi, memoirs, essays ...), eating (a lot), playing board games (all kinds), playing with our dog, climbing, chess playing, playing music (piano, guitar, ukulele)

We don't like : capitalism, people being very loud during nap times

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We believe in the free economy where life experiences are shared instead of money exchanged. We are travel minimalists and focus on low impact, low carbon, high enjoyment stays :) Over the last years, our holidays were always some combination of visiting family/friends, bike-packing and trekking.

Interests

I try to live an ecological lifestyle and do my best while not judging others. Everyone is on a journey and has their own path ! Apart from this I enjoy manual crafting activities especially sewing. I am also a very curious person and easily impressed :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been a deputy mayor and married over a hundred couples!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach bits of French if you'd like and also vegetarian cuisine !
I would love to help around a garden since I am an apprentice gardener.
I can also teach basic sewing machine stuff (sewing zero waste thingies, basic clothes...) but don't ask too much :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

Both curiosity and respect for other's lifestyles.
A good meal, whether homemade, traditional, or not, is also always a good moment.
