Follow the Way

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Maxime. I spent long time to dream my life instead of living my dreams. By meeting people that had travelled, I understood that I really needed to begin, see by myself and discover other cultures. In 2010, I left job, flat, routine ... and decided to go in New Zealand for my first great travel experience. It was like I just open my eyes for the first time. Meeting people from other countries and different cultures is the best way to understand the world we are living in. I am an ignorant and I want to learn ... We only have one life and so many people and places to discover.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
M. Twain
