About Me

CURRENT MISSION Work to travel to work to travel to work and travel ABOUT ME i'm an animal osteopath, lucky to have my passion as a job ! easygoing and openminded, i enjoy meeting new people! we've got so much to learn from each others. "Travel broadens the mind" ! Have been on a 6 months travel, great road trip hich hiking through Europe till Saint Petersburg, then with the transsiberian to the stunning baikal lake, before discovering the wonderful Mongolia, amazing China & Hong Kong, beautiful Nepal and incredible India! That was such a great experience as u can imagine. I couchsurfed in Europe, Russia and China and I met great people! I think it’s definitely the best way to travel and discover cultures ! PHILOSOPHY "Le monde est un livre et ceux qui ne voyagent pas n'en lisent qu'une page." Y'a t'il assez d'une vie pour survoler tout les chapitres!? "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page" "El mundo es un libro, y quienes no viajan leen sólo una página"

Music, Movies, and Books

"Lorsque tu voyages, tu fais une expérience très pratique de l'acte de renaissance. Tu te trouves devant des situations complètement nouvelles, le jour passe plus lentement et, la plupart du temps, tu ne comprends pas la langue que parlent les gens. Exactement comme un enfant qui vient de sortir du ventre de sa mère. Dans ces conditions, tu te mets à accorder beaucoup plus d'importance à ce qui t'entour parce que ta survie en dépend. Tu deviens plus accessible aux gens car ils pourront t'aider dans des situations difficiles. Et tu reçois la moindre faveur des Dieux avec une grande allégresse, comme s'il s'agissait d'un épisode dont on doit se souvenir sa vie restante." (Paolo Coelho)

When you travel, you experience, in a very practical way, the act of rebirth. You confront completely new situations, the day passes more slowly, and on most journeys you don't even understand the language the people speak. So you are like a child just out of the womb. You begin to attach much more importance to the things around you because your survival depends on them. You begin to be more accessible to others because they may be able to help you in difficult situations. And you accept any small favor from the gods with great delight, as if it were an episode you would remember for the rest of your life.
- Paulo Coelho

"Courir le monde de toutes les façons possibles, ce n'est pas seulement la découverte des autres, mais c'est d'abord l'exploration de soi-même, l'excitation de se voir agir et réagir. C'est le signe que l'homme moderne a pris conscience du gâchis qu'il y aurait à rendre passive une vie déjà bien courte."(Xavier Maniguet)
