About Me

I am an enthousiast and lively girl, from France. I grew up in the country side in southern France.
I started a job in early 2025 at Hokkaido University, in Sapporo, with my partner. We both plan to stay in Sapporo for about 2 years, before coming back to France. We are learning Japanese, I with lectures from great japanese volunteers (again thank you !) and him by watching anime in Japanese ;)
I like sport, and practise regularly Ultimate Frisbee, a team game played with a frisbee instead of a football or rudby ball. It's great ! I also love hiking, camping, being in the nature, picking fruits in the country side (sometime even in my city neighborhood!). I also like painting, cooking and baking :) I think food is a great way to share culture and create new bonds !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet new Japanese or international people curious about others, to share with them a great time, learn reciprocally, even cook together! I love cooking and baking ;)
I would love to discover more of international or Japanese culture through this way.
I have never been couch surfing before, but it was recommended to me by a Japanese friend from my Frisbee team. So I would love to try.
I had the pleasure to host twice some people from UK, Mexico and China, and it was both times a great human experience =)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have had the courage to move from Paris and France, to Japan, for 2 years, leaving my family and friends in France. It has been a not easy but great time to discover the Japanese culture in the daily life :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Do you know ultimate frisbee? a great game where team work is fundamental, and where you can learn to throw a frisbee disk in many ways. A sport which is auto-arbitrated, even in international competition! And where you can play in mixed teams, men and women alltogether. A great sport.
I'll bring a frisbee around, allowing for a few throw if you are interested to try :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love of baking, cooking French meals, playing Frisbee with adults or kids, anectodes about being from France living in Japan... I would love to share many aspects together :)
