I'm a French elementary school teacher, and so Couchsurfing and traveling are a way to remind myself that I'm an adult! :)

I enjoy playing or listening to music, dancing (solo or partner), cooking, engaging conversations and enjoying nature. I thrive on trying new things, good eats, and off the beaten path adventures.

I'm also a pretty good story teller! (I do, after all, have to entertain children Monday to Friday, 6 hours per day)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to share my travel experiences to inspire others to do what they believe in and what they're interested in.
While traveling though, it's difficult to create opportunities to connect with locals and appreciate their pace of living, interest, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

If you want to find common ground, it won't be hard with me - I am interested in most things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Appeared on Japanese Television for running a relay-race in Aichi, Japan.

Went river spear-fishing with locals in rural Japan.

Bunjee-jumped twice from a 200-foot drop into a quarry, then went spelunking without a lamp in complete darkness.

Almost got bit by a poisonous water snake while scuba-diving in Okinawa.

Played for thousands of people at various music festivals and parades.

Oh did this say "one amazing thing"? Oops!
