Passionate about Sustainability | Advocate for Education as a Global Game Changer 🌍

As a Food Scientist, I navigate the intricacies of the Food Sciences field while championing Science Communication among diverse audiences. 🧪🗣️

🍲 A Journey Fueled by Purpose 🌟

With a firm belief in the power of Education as a catalyst for positive change, I dedicate my career to the pursuit of sustainable solutions within the food industry. Teaching, I discovered that convincing veggies to "eat their greens" is a bit easier than convincing kids at the dinner table! But hey, challenge accepted! 🌾😄

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After enduring three long years of stringent lockdowns and isolation in Japan due to Covid-19, I found myself unable to travel, engage in face-to-face interactions, or relish outdoor activities. Over time, this isolation grew more pronounced. However, now, I am eager to reacquaint myself with the world, forge connections with people, share stories, and actively contribute to making the world a better place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I take pride in spreading awareness about food waste issues across diverse settings, including elementary schools, secondary schools, and universities, as well as engaging with senior audiences. The sense of amazement and fulfillment washes over me when I receive messages from individuals who share their tips or express their commitment to reducing food waste. This underscores the positive impact we can collectively make when we unite towards a common goal.

Teach, Learn, Share

🌱 Bridging Science and Society 🤝

My passion for Sustainability transcends the classroom. Engaging with primary and secondary schools, as well as the general public, I strive to foster a deeper connection between science and society. Explaining the wonders of food chemistry to curious minds can sometimes feel like a magic show – only with fewer explosions! 📚🌍✨

What I Can Share with Hosts

I reside in the Ina Valley, an exquisite locale nestled within Nagano Prefecture, Japan. This area boasts tranquility and remains unspoiled, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts.

I'd be delighted to be your guide and showcase my personal favorite spots. If you're keen on mountain climbing, I can provide transportation for your adventures. Additionally, during the winter season, there are numerous ski resorts and ice-skating rinks to explore.

Hailing from Benin, I'm excited to share facets of my culture, encompassing dance, culinary delights, language, and proverbs. I'm equally eager to hear about your own unique adventures.

Let's embark on a journey of mutual discovery and enjoyment!
