Hi i am John! I'am Army officer in France and i have taken a 2 years break to travel with my wife in nature. We are now back from two years paddling, walking and riding in New-Caledonia, New-Zeland, Laos, Cambodia, Canada, Thaïland, Alaska, Norway, Finland.

I love nature, poetry, all outdour sports (rock climbing, moutain bike, paraglinding, hiking, skiing...).
I like to travel without engine (kayak, bike) and to meet local people to learn a lot of things about places, climates and animals i don't know. That's why, i try to travel far from touristic places. I like writing and photography.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually want to meet local people at the beginning of a trip in nature to learn many things about the place, edible plants, histry, traditions...
