Overview
About Me
I have been living in Paris since 2015 in the 11th arrondissement.
During my studies, I lived in several cities in France and also in Edinburgh in Scotland for 1 year between 2012 and 2013.
I've been working as a design engineer in the energy and environmental efficiency of buildings for 4 years.
I'm very interested in anything to do with the environment and ecology.
I'm taking a 6-month sabbatical in 2024, I’ve just finished my trip of 3 months in Canada and I plan to discover Japan for 2 months and Vietnam for 1 month.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am preparing my trip to Japan for 2 months from August to September 2024 and I would like to meet Japaneses with the aim of making enriching encounters and getting to know more about Japan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I recently travelled to Istanbul by train from Paris via Vienna, Budapest and Bucharest! Including several more or less comfortable night trains :)
It was a great adventure and I met a lot of people along the way <3
I took the Transcanadian (the train between Toronto and Vancouver) twice during my stay in Canada in 2024 :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I think those three words speak for themselves!
That's why I signed up for Couch surfing :)
