One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I hitchhiked from Bordeaux, France to Varsaw, Poland at the other side of Europe in 26 hours only !
- I went to work in Estonia every morning for more than a year even though it was sometimes less than -30° (Im from the south of France ;)
- I travelled from the southern french atlantic coast to South Korea in 3 month by hitch hiking, bus, train, boat and couch surfing
- I took the transsiberian alone in 3rd class and enjoyed it a lot!
- I lived alone in Mongolia with nomads who couldn't speak a word of english but who taught me to milk a cow and to run down a rocky mountain without falling.
- I lived in a squat in Thailand with artists and drug dealers and got a bit scared ;)
