CURRENT MISSION

Travel to meet new cultures

ABOUT ME

I'm a French guy (in fact I also have Canadian citizenship :)) who wants to meet the world. One of the things I want to do in my life is going round the world only with my backpack going from place to place to meet people and culture.

I love drinking tea (every kind) while debating of everything and nothing at breakfast or tea time. I like going out discovering things with concerts, theater, museums, expositions,...
I'm very thrifty and I enjoy life with simple things. I'm against the consumer world in which we live because I think happiness is not material.

Sometime, I think I would prefer to live in the world of the twentieth century with less/no/different technology but I also think that the world of our time is very interesting. Interesting because of the mixing of cultures and because little by little people are realizing that it is not possible to carry on living in the excess: a kind of "revolution" is starting!

PHILOSOPHY

Just live without thinking !
Life is short so you must enjoy every second.

Be 5 days in the nature (Calanques of Marseille in France) to climb without any contact with civilisation. I started the hike with a 35kg backpack on the back and a 15kg "front"pack on the stomach...a lot lot lot of memories. When I came back to the concrete of Paris, I thought it was a dream !
