+# CouchDesign Collaboration journey to France
+
+Mid November 2017 we go to France
+to attend a conference,
+visit friends,
+and establish new friendships.
+
+Interests:
+We are both involved in Free Software,
+with a special interest in [design][] and [customized][blends] systems.
+
+Travel:
+We enjoy the pace of train rides,
+and like it for environmental reasons too.
+This journey is done using Interrail tickets.
+Thanks to Purism for sponsoring Jonas' travel costs!
+
+Hosting:
+We much prefer visiting our friends privately,
+and bring sleeping bags.
+Thanks to Francois and his family for hosting in Southern France,
+to Brice and his family for hosting in Paris,
+and to Kurt and Gabi for hosting in Gütersloh.
