CURRENT MISSION

Discover Japan and enjoy my sabbatical year

ABOUT ME

I took a sabbatical to discover asia (Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Philippines) in slow-life mode.

I like asia, I like walking, in cities or nature, and I like discovering new places and people.
I took a rest from my computer job to find another direction in my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I already surfed a few couches in Dublin, Brussels, Barcelona... before discovering Couchsurfing.
Since then, I've couchsurfed in Lausanne, Osaka and Kobe, Taipei!

Interests

I'm learning japanese since a few years, still a beginner but discovering japanese language and culture is very pleasant. I also enjoy dancing salsa, and practicing aikido. I might be weird but I think there is a kind of similarity in both activities... how to coordinate moves between two people without using words but bodies!

• culture
• dancing
• beer
• walking
