Researcher in CNRS, I worked on fermentations and filamentous fungi. Now, I'm pre-retired.

Live in a village about 15 km far from Toulouse, with my wife. I have two sons and one daughter who live elsewhere.

I'm an easy living person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm dreaming to make a tour around the world by surface transportation only.

Muere lentamente quien no viaja,
quien no lee, quien no escucha música,

Muere lentamente quien destruye su amor propio,
quien no se deja ayudar.
