About Me

I'm a 36 years old french scholar who worked for a year in Ritsumeikan Uni, researching on the experience of video game players, especially RPG.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My rommie in Kyoto was a coachsurfer and he invited many people from CS. I pretty much appreciated the atmosphear and the concept.

Interests

I do a lot of sports, mainly martial arts.
As everybody on CS I guess, I love travelling, visiting museum, meeting people, etc.
I also love cooking, maybe I can cook something for you? :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of Into the Wild.
I LOVE cinema, so it is very difficult to name a few.... Twelve Monkeys, all Kim Ki Duk movies, but especially 3-Iron and "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring", Cinema Paradisio, all Kurosawa, Cedric Klapsich movies, etc. etc.

I prefer rock and electronic music; but I am open to jazz or classic as well.

I read a lot of books for my work (huge fan of Frnech sociologist Pierre Bourdieu), but rarely novels. Although, I like classic japanese poetry.
