One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

West Africa road trip ( Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Bissau Guinea, Guinea, Mali, Burkina-Faso and Togo) in 18 days!

It was such an amazing experience! I wish I could write a book on it and share my experiences with people who would like to discover West African Countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: french, music ( how to play some notes on a guitare)

Learn: new languages, how to cook, psychology

Share: oh no I share nothing 😏 except food, my appartement

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, there are lot of possibilities:

1. Go for a night bike tour and visit monuments in Paris (https://maps.app.goo.gl/cEvmptXXNfhAhouq7?g_st=iw)
2. Eat croissant, baguette, fromage and drink red wine in front of the Eiffel tower,
3. Go to have a drink to Montmartre with a nice view on Paris,
4. Make food together.

I think at some point, human beings are like mirrors. They reflect what people in front of them represent/show.

Hence, my attitude may be on line with who you are and how you show yourself to me.

If you are a deep person then you will discover my deeper side. If you like partying and dancing I am your man. If you are shy I will respect that and I will never try to go over your boundaries. If you are a foody person, if you are interested into discovering Paris and also a part of the other cultures I know about, I am telling you: you are not going to be disappointed 😎
