About Me

CURRENT MISSION:
My own company on electricity, energetic thermal audit for buildings, and scientific instrumentation.

ABOUT ME
I love to travel, but I also try to keep my carbon fott print as low as possible... That is not always so easy to combine both. That is why I really enjoyed bycle trip, I did a few.
Interested to meet people from all around the world, to learn from different cultures, different way of thinking.
Very interested on outdoor sports: hiking, climbing, sleeping in a hammock. (and eating donuts in a hammock: that is really extreme !)
I enjoy cooking, having a drink, live music, cinema, science and Nature. I am a volunteer for the LPO (Bird protection in France)
