CURRENT MISSION

Listening to other people's stories while writing my own.

ABOUT ME

Benoît here, a French guy that landed his feet on planet Earth 36 years ago (ouch!).
I constantly challenge myself to new challenges, enjoy the simplest joys in life and I have a real passion for people and their paths.
I aspire to be a (script)writer so that's probably why.
I want to explore more ways of being creative too.
I'm curious about mainly anything so you're on with really long chats with me hehe ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Seize the day, you only live once!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still very excited about the opportunities to meet interesting and cool people from around the world!
One of my best holidays was undoubtedly staying with different CSers for two weeks in Tokyo back in summer 13. Now that's an experience I'd love to repeat, so much laughter, fun and discoveries!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Watching the sun rise from the top of Fujisan! Now really keen on repeating this amazing experience with sunset! :)

教，学，和分享

I have a degree in teaching French as a foreign language. The initial idea behind this was to move abroad and start anew in a whole different career. Life had me stay in the UK (for very joyful reasons) but the prospect of moving abroad, especially in Japan, is still in a corner of my mind.
It makes me happy when I can share conversations with people who love learning languages as much as I do. I've just finished a year of Accelerated Beginners Japanese (evening classes twice a week), and I can't wait to try my new skills with locals during my next Japanese adventure!
