Born in Romans-sur-Isère (Drôme), I studied classical music and Sociology (Phd) in Grenoble, Aix-en-Provence and Valencia (Spain). I'm married with a Spanish women, we have a little son (5 years old).Since I was 8 years old, I've been learning and playing classical guitar. Music is a very important part of my life. I love walking and trekking in the moutains. A part of my family is from a little village of the French Alps called Le Chazelet, just in front of the peak La Meije (3983 m). This is my secret place, although we love spending holidays in the Canary islands!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now... sorry but finding hosts in the Alps, while I'm looking for a job for winter time... Cause it's quite difficult in Spain, no work.
