**Just back from a 1-month trip to Japan with my cousin**
Hi! I'm a French singer-songwriter, in love with music, culture, languages, animation movies, nature, hiking and discovery :)

I just came back from a one month trip to Japan which was amazing. Before that, I left for a one-year trip around the world with my husband in 2019, which unfortunately was stopped by Covid. But we still had time to discover, trek and move through South-East Asia and New Zealand before coming home and it was amazing :)

Prior to that, I had been to a lot of places for school trips, but never got satisfied with the human experience - not enough life, not enough real meetings... Now I'm trying to go out there, and fix that =)

I'm truly passionate about music (folk, jazz, world, classical, rock, French, movie music....), and I love nature, hiking and beautiful places as well as reading, theater, movies, Japanese animation, learning languages and culture in general. And humor (Monthy Python style). Apart from that, partying sometimes, talking, casual board games, laughing are great too ;)

Minimum checklist on a trip : concert, food, meeting someone from there, walk through the town and hiking, park, church/museum, bar/café, theater play if I can !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, with different mindsets ; every language, every culture, is a new point of view on the world, and I want to see it from every possible angle ! I feel the best experience you can get from any place is to see it through the eyes of the people who live there and love it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting my own three albums produced =)

Being stuck in New Zealand countryside during covid and learning guitar on my own

Teach, Learn, Share

Right now I am working on releasing my new album so not so much time, but in another period I can show you around places in Lyon and happily wonder with you !

What I Can Share with Hosts

French language, Happiness, and Music! Let's play together =) I sing, can accompany songs with a guitar, and play a bit of piano too.
And make cakes. And share drinks. And visit together if you want to.
And talk in several languages, and have passionate conversations about life ;)
