Purpose in my life : Understanding new cultures, meeting new people, learning new languages and experiencing new food !

I love to cook, go hiking and camping in the mountains, discovering new landscapes.

With people I love to talk and have deep discussions about politics and economy, or sciences.

Train lover, and also long-distance traveler hitchhiking. I am an adept of slow travel, taking the time to discover a country and its geography.

Noticeable thing : I don't drink beer, and I'm really fan of cheese (I even make my own)
