I'm a researcher in mathematics and biology from France, now based in Kyoto.

I'll be more than happy to meet travellers and locals while in Japan! I've received quite a lot from this community, time to give it back now!
I can host people from time to time, spontaneous and emergency requests only (not more than 72h in advance) as I can't plan much things in advance. Any other request will be automatically declined.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have used this app quite a lot to meet travellers and locals and find places to crash during my many travels
