Hello everyone !

I am French guy from a French father and an Indian mother. I study engineering to work in renewable energies. For this, I left Bordeaux and spent the last two years in the beautiful city of Lyon.

I like fighting sports a lot. I have been practicing Vovinam Viet Vo Dao for several years now. It is a Vietnamese martial art, very complete, and I love it ;). I also love any activities related to mountaineering : trekking, climbing, alpinism, skiing, etc. I quite enjoy spending time in the mountains for the quietness, the beautiful landscapes we can see there, and the sensations we can have while exploring them !

Apart from sport, an other passion is photography. I love taking story telling pictures of people I meet. Be careful, I might be willing to take your photograph ! ;).

Finally, I care a lot about the environment and try to adapt my lifestyle as much as I can to have the less impact on the planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If my father gave me the love of mountains, my Indian mother gave me the love of travelling. Thanks to her, I could discover many countries in South Asia and North Africa. But, even if we used to travel just on ourselves with our backpacks, we would always sleep in guesthouses, and I am now frustrated of not having met and talk with that much local people. That is why I am joining Couchsurfing, to discover a new way of travelling to meet people !! ;p

I love to discuss with people and making new friends ! I am very curious and thus I want to learn about their cultures, way of thinking and idea of life. I hope Couchsurfing will put lots of interesting men and women on my route !

Looking forward to meeting you soon !
