I'm French, and I just moved to Taiwan after living in Japan for six years. I'm a certified psychologist, and a French Teacher. I love hiking, eating and drinking, and listening to people's stories. I'm friendly and talkative, but also need to spend some time alone, especially when work gets very busy. Traveling is my way of recharging my batteries. I live in New Taipei City, Xindian District.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Also I'm kind of new on Couchsurfing, I've been hosting my friend's friend's for years. I've built up great memories and friendships this way. I think that couch surfing is one of the best way to meet people that share the same interests as me. I also love having guests at home, it makes me feel like I'm on a holiday in my own house.
