CURRENT MISSION

From dec 2011 until april 2013 I took more than a year off for traveling with my recumbent bike in South america. I traveled with a friend from Colombia to Chile. Our main goal was to live great experiences with people

ABOUT ME

I do not like to stay inactive even if I need it from time to time ! Actually, I pretty often practice sport, mainly outdoor activities as trekking, mountaineering, mountain biking, ski touring, kayaking, rock climbing or playing tennis. I also highly appreciate drinking a beer on the terrace of a bar in Lyon, having dinner in a restaurant, watching a movie, listening to a concert in the open-air... One last word : I have pretty deep environmental and ecological convictions !
I do not smoke and I have no pet

PHILOSOPHY

carpe diem

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted several times and I've been hosted several times also. Only great souvenirs

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During a bike-trip to Innsbruck in Austria I was hosted 2 times and I really appreciated the discussions and exchanges I had. It was definitely the best way to learn about the city, its inhabitants and its culture.
Since, I hosted several times for a couple of days very pleasant travelers. In south america we've also been hosted several times.

Interests

Sport (see above), cinema, taking time to drink a beer and observing people living, good food of Lyon (even if I am from Normandy !), dinners with my friends, photography,.... and more and more trying to reduce my ecological footprint!
