CURRENT MISSION

See what's like the other side of the world

ABOUT ME

I come from a town in the french alps known to have organized 1968 winter olympic game (Grenoble). I'm definitely someone from the mountain; I like the ski, snowboard, hike and camp there. Besides, I don't have wings for fly and I'm sick on a boat : you see, there is no doubt I'm better on earth and even better on a mountain!

I'm rather a calm person who appreciate good discussions between few people around a fire camp or a good bottle of wine (and both are not incompatible :-) ). I like to exchange with people from other countries and discover how different is their life.

When I'm not in the wild, I'm working as computer engineer.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is the only thing that doubles when you share it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

I like little production movies : I often find good surprise in those movies. Generally I like all type of film as long as there is an interesting scenario and without dubbing.
About music I like all kind of music with a preference for the rock, the techno and the latin music.
Usualy I don't read fiction I prefer real stories like Into thin air (Jon Krakauer), Crazy For The Storm (Norman Ollestad), Shantaram (Gregory David Roberts) and of course all the books of Mike Horn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked 2 month in Spain to watch the sunset at the western point of Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always glad to see foreign people speaking french. I'd be happy to chat in french or other language (I like to improve my knowledge of other languages).
I'm computer scientist so I may help people in that fields (Linux or windows. Sorry Mac).
