LATEST MISSION

3 years around the world on recumbent bikes ! (2007-2010)

ABOUT ME

We love : biking, traveling, meeting people, discoveriong new cultures, laughing, climbing, trekking, reading, diving, looking at the stars, sleeping outside, making crepes under the tent, eating clafoutis and chocolate, getting news from our families, and each other!

We don't like : biking in mud / sandstorm / cold rain / face wind , waiting for visas, when water freezes inside tent, washing in cold stream water, when clouds get in front of stars, when chocolate melts, when the book ends, when we loose things (sooo often, we are such scatterbrains), people who are too confident (we are not) !

WARNING
(profile update : the other information was written in 2009...)
We are now proud parents of two little twin boys born in March 2013, Nael and Soan... so you must like or at least stand kids if you come ! they are funny and nice though :)
