Mountaineering and traveling are part of my DNA! I am as well a happy father of 2 kids, and currently an engineer in the automotive industry.

I live in France 40 km from Geneva, in a nice (but remote) village surrounded by mountains.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel on my bicycle, and I am very often hosted by local people and have great time with them! I would be pleased to host foreign travelers at home, as a way to circulate the hospitality spirit!

Interests

Traveling has always been a passion. A few years ago, I also turned into reality an old dream and started to travel on my bicycle together with my girlfriend.

Mountaineering is not only a passion: it has always been an important part of my life. In summer, I ride my mountain bike and practice trail running, but my real summer passion is rock climbing (that I do not practice often enough...). In winter, my main interest is tour skiing, with a bit of cross-country skiing, and alpine skiing time to time. And I have the unique chance to share these passions with my girlfriend :-)

I always have a good book in my pocket, and I love cinema when it brings emotions. I have as well a special passion for sciences & maths.

All these passions are transcended when I can live them with my kids!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movie: Sadhû, by Gaël Métroz. Great story and pictures. However when you get to know how this movie was made, you get stunned...

Book: the evolution man, by Roy Lewis. Really funny, with a strong science basis!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting a bear in the Carpates mountains? Canyoneering in the wild Utah? Tour skiing the Corsica mountains? Get lost in the Tetouan medina? Be waken up at night by wolves howls while camping in Wyoming? Difficult to pick one thing!
