We are a French couple (34 & 38) from Grenoble, a city in the south-east of France (French Alps) and we are currently travelling for a long term period throughout Asia, Australia, NZ and Europe.

We are travelling slowly and are enjoying a lot, especially when we can exchange with people, share our cultures, stories and thoughts, and of course have fun!

And we met awesome people since then! More "on the road" than via Couchsurfing for the moment but we had our first CS experience as guests in Osaka and it was great! Can't wait to have some more, maybe with one of you guys! ;-)
