Léo

Former Language School Director · Global Wanderer

Hello! I'm Léo, originally from France but deeply at home in Tokyo for over 5 years.

As a former language school director here in Japan, I love building bridges between people through language and culture. I speak Japanese, English, French, and Spanish.

Having lived in France, the USA, New Zealand, and Georgia (the country!), I consider myself a true global citizen — and yet Japan is the place that captured my heart completely.

I'm warm, respectful, and always happy to go at your pace. Let's take a walk, share a coffee, or just chat about life, culture, and everything in between. No pressure, just good vibes.
