About Me

ABOUT ME

Hi !
I am Nicolas, living in Tokyo, and travelling as much as I can.
I have worked in 13 countries so far.

PHILOSOPHY

I would rather walk randomly in a city than follow a guided tour.
I believe that people are good, and that kindness and education makes the world a better place, little by little.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted many people via Couchsurfing in France.
Since I moved, many friends (mostly outside Couchsurfing though) come visit Japan and stay at my place :-)
I love showing people around my area (central Tokyo), there are always interesting things that locals know and that are not on guidebooks.

Interests

I LOVE learning languages, especially the small ones spoken by a village or two in the middle of nowhere... can't explain why !
I also love juggling, hosting house parties at my place, cooking, windsurfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Almodóvar, Wong Kar Wai, Ken Loach, Ang Lee, Von Trier... no TV.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can almost say the Dutch word "Graag".

In my spare time I developed an app called "AnkiDroid", now it has about a million users. I make zero money out of it (free, no ads, open source), because I just hope it helps many people learn languages :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach juggling, French food cooking.
And also languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking!
My signature dish is Quiche Lorraine.
