Passionate about soccer and tennis since I was a kid, I've been playing ping-pong for three years at a club in Nantes. More recently, I discovered padel and what a blast! Basketball, rugby, golf, and motorsports: yet more new sports that I regularly follow. On the cultural side, since I love giving my opinion, I write film and video game reviews.
