Overview
About Me
I recently quited my job in aeronautics because I needed a change. With my gf Abellia (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/abellia) we decided to go traveling about 6 months in South America.
When we return to France mid-2016, I'm going back to school to specialize in renewable energies.
Also, I live to enjoy the nature and not to destroy or deplete all the resources. Above all I hate consumerism and money power.
I don't want anybody to decide for me.
My slogan: Save us and save our planet earth because there is no planet B!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on CSing because it is one of the best way to meet locals and discover the reality of the place I visit.
Interests
Going out, watching concert, listening to music, tinkering, DIY, practising sports. Do services and fixing things, gardening. I started African drums a few years ago.
I am never against a drink in a bar or somewhere else or a dinner with some interesting people. I like to cook even if I'm not a "chef" and above all I like pot luck.
I do lot of sports: running, mountain biking, skiing, ski touring, hiking/tramping, handball, adventure racings.
If you invite me somewhere, I'll most likely come by bike. I love biking.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music, of course! But not when I'm working or running. Reggae, dub, electro, rock, pop, folk music...
Movies only when weather makes you want to be in a warm place.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Walking on the Great Wall in China and visiting Potalaya Monastery in Lhasa, Tibet.
I played with a wild dolphin, Moko, in Mahia beach, NZ.
Hitchhiking in Canada from Vancouver to Gaspé and back to Toronto: 8830km, 18 days cumulated, 70 rides!
Teach, Learn, Share
I used to live in a house with 4 housemates. I must be able to teach how to survive in such a wild world. We had hence, a compost, a earthworm compost that I looked after myself. I can share my experience with that.
I need to learn gardening, my vegetables are usually very small and rare :(
