My current mission : Carpe diem ! About me: I was born in France and lived in different cities there. I used to have friends from everywhere and my dad was a sailor. That's why I'm so interested in languages and differents cultures. My first travel was to Ireland when I was 17. I almost decided myself the day before to leave :) I've been there for a week without any guide and stuffs, only a few clothes in my small backpack, it was really funny. It was almost 20 years ago. Since then I had the great "disease" of travelling. When I was 22, i did a "1 year round the world trip" with a friend which we called "TourDuWorld": We went through a lot of countries and so many things happened...Since, he lives in Malaysia and we continued to travel and meet people...I'm a simple person who love photography, travels, sports (I practise yoage every morning, baseball at European level, bodyboarding, swimming regularly, and running to distress :p), discover and cooking ! Proud to be european, I've got british ancestors and my family is from Spain (Catalunya, Pais Basco), England, Slovakia, Italy and Germany. Nowadays, I live with my girlfriend, so we have a funny mix of languages at home French/Slovak/English. We both are fluent in english. We travel regularly and we love unusual places, road trips and backpacking. I really like to discover and doing new stuffs and enjoy every day when i'm abroad. My philosophy: I try to be better (and I don't intend to be anyway ;) and if the world can be saved, it is worth it to try !!! I already started to change many aspects of my daily life: following the 5 "R": I don't buy plastic, i reduced meat, i do vermicompost at home, etc. I can explain you a lot of things that you can do at an individual level and very easily! My goal: Close to die, I hope I'll have visited all the countries of this marvelous world. (I have visited 50 of them so far, but the quantity isn't a goal, I prefer quality to quantity)
