About Me

I'm a French guy from Nantes, working in aerospatial and nuclear area as inspector of materials for Airbus etc../EDF and their subcontractors. I'm doing a big reconversion to work 50% in environment area and 50% in massage therapies.

And snowboarding the Swiss Wall, one of the hardest piste with a declining of 90° !

- Enter inside a underground pyramid in Egypt and not be able to breathe inside ^^
