Thomas Divier - 22 year old

I was born in Alençon, in Basse-Normandie on July, 24th 1984. After A-levels, I left Alençon for Tours, where I spent two years, preparing the exams for the French engineering schools called "Grandes Ecoles". I finally went to the French Engineering School of Papermaking and Printing (EFPG) in Grenoble.

I have been travelling with my parents many times, with trips in Autria, UK, Scotland, Netherlands, Germany and more recently Spain, the US and Poland..

As soon as I was over 18, I have been two summers in a row in the UK, in Brighton and Portsmouth. It gave me the opportunity to improve my English and to find out the "backpacker spirit" !

Since I am in Grenoble, I have been really involved in the association BEST (Board of European Students of Technology). Thanks to BEST, I have been travelling all over Europe at low cost : Slovenia, Italia, UK, Turkey, Poland, Germany, Lituania. BEST helped me also to meet many crazy travelers and I became gradually aware that it was possible to fulfill my dream !

Besides travelling, I am fond of aviation, sport (ski, hiking), culture.
