My name is Paul, I'm 29 and I come from Alsace, France! 🇫🇷
I used to work as a rocket engineer in Germany 🚀🇩🇪 but I quit my job to cycle for 9 months with my sister and my cousin in South East Asia. 🚲🌍
After a lot of cycling, hiking and sailing in that part of the world, I came back with Tim, my Australian partner and we now live in Grenoble with our dog Hector, surrounded by the mountains ⛰️🏔️ now I cook at the Café Vélo, a vegetarian restaurant & bicycle workshop! 😁👨🏼‍🍳

Trying to live an increasingly sustainable life 🌱

Musica, film e libri

Music begins where words end.
Mostly rock, 80's, country, but I love discovering new music types 😉
Play several instruments.

I like reading books from many different styles. Thrillers, ecological oriented, adventure...

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Insegna, impara, condividi

I would be happy to share some vegetarian recipes, some guitar or piano, some insights into the French language,...

I myself love learning more cooking recipes too, the local traditions/cuisine/drinks and practice foreign languages!
