I am a tandem paragliding pilot, which means I can take passengers to fly a paraglider with me.

I have been travelling/living away from my home country for over 20 years.

I have lived and saved money that I invested in property for 6 years in London.

From 2003 till 2008 I cycled (with a bicycle) from France to Singapore.

All in all I have lived for 2 years in India, where I traveled 21,000km on a Royal Enfield 500cc. I rode over the Himalayas with a friend, then back and forth from Rishikesh (north) to Mysore (south) to deepen my Yogashtanga practice.

In 2015, I made a vow of Silence. On Tuesdays I don't talk, read nor listen to music. Since I am traveling, nevertheless, I am open to people who talk to me. But I answer by signs... Don't be put off, it can actually be quite fun(ny) at times.

In January 2016, I moved to South America. Best idea ever...

Since, I travel between South America and Europe. I own an RV in France, so I can travel to paragliding sites, mountains, beaches, and any European countries. I am happy to take fellow travellers along with me on an RV road trip and take them to fly with my paraglider if the weather allows it. The RV is parked near Versailles, but I own a motorbike that allows to avoid Paris' traffic jams and reach its center in 30mn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to share. I like to meet new people. I try to put all my expertise, time and effort to help people make their dream(s) come true... I act as a facilitator. Kind of a hobby.
Most of the battle is in our head. The blockages we mentally create, unable radical changes to take place in our lives. Freedom is not free; we must take a leap of faith to reach freedom.
I like to brainstorm with people over idealistic projects and make them come a reality.
