About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Put a BIG smile on your face --and make you feel guilty for laughing with me 24/7!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm from France but I had to run away to finally find out whatI'm in Mid-Coast Maine right now --teaching my native language and cooking!

Don't hesitate to reach my by IM or e-mail !

PHILOSOPHY

"LOVE HARD, LAUGH HARDER!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I didn't have that many opportunities to travel, yet --but I'm on my way to become a WORLDWIDE GAIJIN pretty soon!

I might not be able to host right now, but if you wanna come to Maine we can still hang out!

Plus I got *cheesy* jokes in at least two languages: French & English! ahahah

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just heard about this CS thing today --so I'm a rookie!

Interests

I'm hung up on everything that's Asian: mainly food and girls, ahaha!

  • culture
  • dining
  • cooking
  • running
  • traveling
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS: I just read "Geisha Moon" by Tendo Shoko --a Japanese woman who relates her teenage years as the daughter of a Yakuza. Tough but emotional at the same time. You should read it!

MOVIES: I'm going to Montreal & be a speaker for the PAN AFRICAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL organized by "Vues d'Afrique" in April. If you wanna learn more about African and the Caribbean and see good, informative, and independent movies, you should go too!

MUSIC: Right now my playlist mainly includes OXMO PUCCINO --contemporary French rapper/jazzman lyricist-- and CHATMONCHY --currently the best Rock/J-Pop band in Japan! Who said opposites attracts? He/she was wicked right! ahahah

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ate jellyfish in some Cambodian restaurant in Paris!

OISHII DESHITA NE?! Yummmmmmmmmmmmy!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French, the language, the culture, and a lot of cheesy jokes --and I even found a way to make a living out of it! ahaha

I can teach a few tricks I have in my self-taught French chef hat!

I can teach Japanese basics --to people with worst basics than me! ahaha

I'm willing to listen to what people have to say and learn learn from their good actions & mistakes --mine included.

And of course: WATASHI NI NIHONGO O OSHIERU KOTO KUDASAI!

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Poland, United Kingdom, United States
