About Me

I've lived in Japan for about ten years, and spent the last three years in a small house in the countryside of Nara, which I just left... I have hosted around fifteen people there, and sometimes it was great life-changing encounters! I am so thankful for those encounters!
I am now back in France and moving around to find a place to settle down.

I like nature, am usually calm, like fruits and nuts a lot, and I like to eat while I cook!
I'm vegetarian, some days vegan when my mind is stronger!!

I like the rhythm of nature rather than big cities, but sometimes also I love to watch the flow of people in the city. So many people, so many differences, so many activities, everyone is so amazing!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I dreamt of such a network, so I'm glad that somebody created it!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like any music that sounds made with love and joy.

I haven't seen many movies these last ten years... Cannot take the violence anymore.
