About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hi.

My name is Franck, French guy living in Japan for 2 years now. Looking to enjoy Tokyo even more than before.

if you travel here I can show you around
if you live here, let's have fun!

FYI: When I connect from work I get listed as in Australia... not sure why but in any case I am in Tokyo Japan, not Sydney :)

PHILOSOPHY

no drama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't host so much lately because I enjoy my private time but I do if I really like a profile and have time. host 100% people who host me ;)

I hosted in Scotland when I was teenager and now in Japan.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to host with my old flatmates in Scotland few years ago and now did a bit in Tokyo but did not do Couch Surfing in a while.

never had any problems so far and very convenient to travel under budget and meet great people.
