Hi there 🌏

I live in the south of France. You can enjoy here a beautiful nature, villages and food.
I can show you around when I have free time. Im often going to the Pyrénées (french montain) for hiking🗻⛰️.
I have a family house there. We can go together if we have a chance.

I have lived in Japan 2 and a half years so far, and I travelled by hichihiking in every prefectures of the country, I loved it. But I like traveling everywhere in the world!!

Im pretty curious about almost everything and I would love to know your travels stories, local food...

I have realized that CS has changed my life in the best way. I find it incredible to arrive in a new country and be welcomed like an old friend. I have been able to create great connections and memories with incredible persons thanks to this community. I am truly grateful and would love to host travelers more.

I can host but you should know that I currently live in a country house far from everything and without public transport. I can pick you up at the train station and show you around the area with my car. You will be able to discover life in the French countryside, eat good local products, come to the market, see animals (we have cats and horses!), small villages... live at a peaceful pace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is the best way to travel today. Meeting people, have the chance to be in their daily lives, see what is the local culture, discover secret places, different personalities and stories... It's so much more interesting and fun than staying in a hotel!

I have always loved being in contact with animals and observing them from in their natural environment.

I like spending time at the local market when Im travelling in a country, discovering and going to places where the locals go.
