My name is Laurene, a French kimono enthusiast who came to Japan in 2025.
I am living in Nishinomiya, and as this is my 3rd time in Japan, I would like to explore Kansai area with locals.

こんにちは、どうも始めまして！　ローレンです。
日本生活は楽しいです。最近、着付けと工芸によく調べました。
関西地域は歴史があるエリアですね？よろしけべば、一緒に話しましょうか？
--> 居酒屋に行ったことがありません。
--> 英語とフランス語も話せます。質問があれば、聞いてください！

Bonjour aux francophones qui liraient mon profil. J'habite à Nishinomiya en ce moment, et je serais ravie de faire des rencontres à Kobe, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka ou dans d'autres villes voisines. N'hésitez pas à m'envoyer un message privé si vous partagez la même envie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As an experienced traveler, I love meeting new people and hearing about their stories. We all have our own perspectives on life, which is fascinating! Let's share cultural anecdotes, spend quality time together, and maybe make some good memories!

２０２５年１０月に日本に引っ越ししました。大阪で働き、日本文化を体験したいです。
日本人に会って、言語交換をしたいです。
いい思い出にしまそう。

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you French and kimono history!
I also cook French food, so if we find the ingredients, we can manage something.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Une soirée, un petit-déjeuner préparé ensemble, visiter le quartier avec l'hôte.

I would like to visit the town or grab a drink with my host.
