I am currently living in Marseille, and working as a freelance communications strategist and Art Director. Have finally managed to plan a long trip in Japan in October (ever since I was a teen I have dreamt of this time), so I'm very excited to meet and discover Japan and its culture. I listen, laugh and exchange with my host, but can also teach them French or talk about the French and Senegalese culture (I have lived in Senegal for 2 years)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet new and interesting people, create nice bonds and memories. That's the best way to really explore another country.
Travelling around the Earth have allowed me to expand my point of view (through food, art, language etc). I find it very exciting!

Interests

Big fan of the Arts. I like to draw anything I find interesting, or take pictures. Huge fan of Comic Books like Blankets, Persepolis or Jiro Taniguchi'books.
The water has always been sousing for me, so I really enjoy diving, snorkeling, body-boarding.
And you can notice my Frenchness gets expressed though my love for the auteure cinema, wine and generous cooking.
