About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Im trying to hike the alps from Grenoble to Nice (France)

ABOUT ME

2 years ago I changed my way to live :
I stop smoking, drinking too much, partying all the time, eating junk food. However I began cooking, doing sport by discovering joys of the mountains (hiking, climbing ...). Moreover I started studying Renewable energy and energye efficiency, to this end I've been graduated.

Nowadays, I chose to stop working in the meaning of renewable energy (too much business without any ethics, most people in this profession are doing it only because it's new and you can win a lot of money). But I'm looking for some way to help people building efficiency houses (trough associations, solidarity projects) with natural materials in order to save and reduce our impact on the planet.

I have a project to hike the alps to prove to myself that people don't need, lot of money, cars, hostels, trips in foreigners country, to have an awesome trip !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking alone 3 days trough a desert mountain, in august, without clear water (they were worms in the bottom of the tank fountain), waiting 3 hours to have 1 litter of water in a drop by drop water fountain. It Was the single fountain during 2 days, the others were dry. Awesome souvenir.
