Hi! I'm Messane. I am French, living in Reunion Island, a small island in the Indian Ocean.

My Couchsurfing adventure started in 2018 in Taiwan. Then in 2019 and early 2020, I stayed in Seoul and Tokyo. Thanks to CS, I met amazing hosts and people who are now lifelong friends 🙏🏻😊

CURRENT TRIP
I am now walking the Michinoku Coastal Trail, from Soma to Hachinohe! (1000km) It is tough but I hope I can make it

MORE ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Grenoble, France, a city that is surrounded by the Alps 🏔️
I have been living in Reunion Island since 2018 and it is an amazing tropical place that you surely have to discover!

I like exploring cities, making friends from all around the world, diving, hiking, sharing food, and small talks in coffee shops ☕

When I started traveling by myself, I immediately loved it. I live with my partner but still travel solo from time to time. I like to connect with people and also, the feeling of adventure :)

I usually do not plan my journeys so much. I am quite calm and like to take time to walk around, meet people... And let opportunities decide of what's next! :)

As for my job, I am a doctor/physician working in a university hospital 👩🏻‍⚕️
