About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save the chearleader, as soon as I discover my super powers.

ABOUT ME

If my hometown is in France, I have actually been living and travelling abroad for the past 9 years of so. For different reasons and jobs, one being humanitarian relief worker in various Asian countries, for 3 years, after spending 2.5 years in Denmark.
I'm currently in Japan, enjoying a working-holiday visa while I'm still young enough. Like most gaijin here in Japan, well I'll just work as a language teacher!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sorry I don't have a couch yet, I hardly have a bed for myself, only an unconfortable futon... If I settle somewhere, it will change, after I get myself a proper bed!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experiences are from December 2007, in Japan. But I of course floor-surfed many times before that, for example in a mountain Akka village in Laos or in remote villages of Myanmar. No chance you will find these people on the internet though...
