I travel through Italy, and I hope to meet fascinating people ! CouchShurfing seems the best way to meet with diverse and open-minded people in each of my stop !

I study law, economics, public policies in the French National School of Administration (ENA) in Strasbourg.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travelled across Japan for some weeks. At that time I hadn't heard about CS, and stayed in Youth Hostels. I met with dozens and dozens of backpackers and tourists and I really enjoyed sharing a meal or a few days walk.
In each encounter I discover a new way to see, feel and interpret the world.

Interests

I'm addicted to a food & drinks, which has nothing unique for a frenchman.
I love commenting pieces of news and debating politics...
I also try to draw & paint the landscapes and pieces of architecture I love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being born... oh that was my mother's achievement : 5 kg !

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak about Japan for hours. I spent so many weeks backpacking, from Yakushima in the South (deep cedar forest that inspired Princess Mononoke) to Shiretoko (extrem north-east, with 1 bear for every km2 !), and of course Tokyo & Kyoto.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The school I'm in, ENA, is very criticized in France but it gave me fascinating opportunities : working at the French Embassy in Tokyo about 2020 olympic games, or with the Prefet in Nîmes, or in Air France. Most of the people I've met there are quite nice, so I'm open to discussion about this school :)
