At the moment, my aim is to play the wonderful game of Go with people all around the world. The game of Go is a very ancient strategy Game coming from China. It's one of the few board games where the human being still beats the computer.

I started this trip in January 2014, and I am at the moment doing a small break in Perth, Australia. My aim is to continue in 2015 to Korea and Japan!

I really love this game, and I could talk about it for hours. I you want to know more, I would be glad to tell you all I know if we have the chance to meet : )

When I'm not playing Go I sometimes play some music, I used to play the trumpet in an amateur brass band in France.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nothing very original here, I love to meet people and I find it very difficult to meet locals while staying on a hostel.

I have actually not been using couchsurfing.org a lot, when I was travelling in Europe and Russia, I was often surfing at Go player's place.
