Hi! I’m Ninon (ニノン), Japanese-French, raised in both countries.
I am currently doing my master degree in Paris and I started using couch surfing during my gap year last year, when I was traveling around Asia!

I’m an open person, who likes discussing, learning, discovering new things, and love everything unexpected!

After reading "One, No One and One Hundred Thousand", I thought it was too hard and also kind of meaningless to introduce myself so here is just a small (and hectic) sample of what I like/I’m interested in: operas, wild camping, udon, Dostoyevski, islands, Christmas, Greeeeen (Kiseki), sleeping, cosy cafes, Renoir, French horn, socio-economical impacts of AI, snow, fencing, insects, wind, Bach… and so on ☃️
So tell me if we have anything in common… or not! xxx

‼️I’m rarely available due to a tight schedule, my flat is very small and I only have one key so it is quite hard for me to host… so I might not be very responsive and you have to be a bit flexible, thanks for your understanding 🙇🏻‍♀️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me traveling is more trying to immerge myself in the place where I am, instead of doing tourism there (even if sometimes I’m the perfect tourist as well lol). CS is for me a good way to try to understand better the local culture and at the same time to meet great people and share great moments, stories, experiences…!
