After defending my PhD end of 2018, I decided to take a long break and came to Japan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled in the USA for a month, visiting a lot of National Parks in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. It was a great experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning Japanese so I'd love to try and speak Japanese with you; I'm still not really good at it though!
I want to learn more and more about Japanese culture; about festivals, religion, language, food, tea ceremony, calligraphy... I'm interested in everything!
Tell me about your travels and the places you love in Japan; I would love to have your recommendations and be able to discover new places because of that.

I can help with your English (or French) if that's what you wish. I can tell you about my travels. I studied biology so I'm knowledgeable in that field.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A nice meal and drink in a local restaurant. A walk around the city.
A confortable and happy talk.
