French & Japanese, born in France, raised in Germany and now studying in the UK.
Squash & Badminton player and sports fanatic allround, I have a travel bug, meaning most of my disposable income goes on exploring new places.

Big foodie, especially when it comes to local cuisines, I love taking home recipes wherever I go!

I also collect postcards and have over 200 - take that as you like.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying with locals is much more fun than in a hotel, and being small I fit on couches easily so don't have a problem with comfort. Also, being a student means every penny is precious!

Interests

Culture/Languages (teach me, I'll do my best!)

Squash, Badminton, Football (let's not talk teams in case we disagree), Skiing, Sailing, Rugby, Anything you can explain the rules of to me

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm really bad at remembering names of things I've watched/listened to/read... So my Top 3 in each will have to do.

Movies: American History X, My Neighbour Totoro, The Help

Books: To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee; Picknick auf dem Eis - Andrej Kurkow; Brave New World - Aldous Huxley

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited rural China whilst living in Beijing. We went to remote places where locals taught us their traditions, foods and were shown secret historical spots.
As for the rest, I'm much better at remembering stories in the middle of random conversations!
