For travellers, please note that my home is in Nagareyamashi, about 45mn by train from Tokyo.

ABOUT ME
Traveling means to me discovering other aspects of myself through meeting new people in different cultures.
I grew up in Switzerland and lived in Japan for the first six years of my adult life.

I am a kind of environmental feminist philosopher lost at the crossroad between cultures and disciplines. Each step I take, I get more lost in the unknown in the middle of contradictory norms and perspectives... but I love it !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people from various cultural background through volunteering. Thanks to Couchsurfing, I met wonderful people around the world, who were worth the risks of the few bad experiences.
When I'm at home, I also enjoy welcoming travelers :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like playing classical and traditional music and I love listening to every kind of music, particularly discovering new type of music in different cultural backgrounds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering in an organic farm in Japan, for 3 months, and learning Japanese there with the local farmer
