CURRENT MISSION

I've just been laid off from my company! But that's cool, I'm taking a 2 months holiday to travel in Asia...

ABOUT ME

A few years ago, I cycled through Latin America from LA to Chile with a couple of friends. It took us a whole year and 13.000 km. At first we were supposed to go to South East Asia to finish the trip but we ran off of money... Now that I saved a little bit and that I have no professional obligation, I'm taking advantage of the situation to travel through Asia (backpacking).

I'm half French, half Moroccan. I've lived in many countries for work or studies (Morocco, France, Spain, Canada, Mexico, USA, UK...). Now I'm in a new step-stone in my life as next year I'll have to find a new job, probably in France or Switzerland! We'll see... But for now, let's have fun!

PHILOSOPHY

I find a meaning in life mostly when I travel. I go out of my little shell and I see people living such a hard life in India or Myanmar or wherever I've been and I realize how happy those people are... Then I think : am I doing the right thing living the way I do ? Should I follow another path ?
I share with them some unforgettable moments, a brief and precious cultural friendship that fill up my battery...
