Hi there!

We are a 28-year-old, hispano-french couple traveling the World for 2 years now! After 7 months wandering and hitchhiking throughout South-East Asia, we have spent a year in Australia, working then driving across the Land Down Under. We are now flying into Tokyo on May 11th and can't wait to explore Japan, a country we've always dreamt traveling through...

Patricia and I met at the University of Seville in 2009. I was, back then, going to Andalusia as an Erasmus student to learn Spanish and discover Spain. Funnily, traveling has been our very first conversation topic! After 2 years in Spain followed by another 2 years working in Paris, we both decided to leave everything behind and bought 2 one-way tickets to Asia!

Traveling made us more tolerant, open-minded, loving people. It is a life experience. Hitchhiking allowed us to meet so many people from very different cultures, backgrounds, religions and it literally changed the way we used to think and see the World. We are immensely grateful for what people gave us, from conversation to hospitality or just one of those life-changing smiles. We are now looking forward to giving back and keeping sharing with people.

Some sayings we love...

- "It's not where you go, but how you go there and who you travel with"

- "A travel is best measure with friends, not in miles"

- "The World is like a book, and your mother country is just the first page"

- "Once destroyed, nature's beauty cannot be repurchased at any price"

- "If you cannot be positive, then at least be quiet"

- "Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life is all about learning and teaching; Traveling is all about loving and sharing. So let's meet up, connect and make this World a better place to live in!

- 2-day motorbike charity-run with Vietnamese from Hanoi to the Chinese border to bring furnitures and clothes to a remote school in the mountains

- a week spent with an amazing local family in Vientiane discovering generous Laotian people and their beautiful culture

- 37-km/2-day trek off Sydney within amazing Australia's Blue Mountains National Park with a very inspiring Aussie-American couple
