I'm a French translator living in Tokyo. Born and bred in Strasbourg (near the German border), I have travelled quite a bit in Europe and the rest of the world before deciding to settle in Tokyo... for now!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet lots of interesting people from different cultures!

My first couchsurfing experience was in 2009 when I travelled to Japan with a friend of mine. I met such nice people ! Since then I was contacted by a few people in my home town, Strasbourg, and I showed them around and had a great time.

Feel free to contact me if you want to meet in Tokyo!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing mount Fuji, 11 hours of climbing up and down to see the sun rise over the clouds. The feeling you get when you see that is even greater than the pain you feel in your legs the next day ;)
