About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work as an independant geographer

ABOUT ME

Since I'm a child, I want to discover our planet. I was always studying maps for trips that I was dreaming.
I finally became a cartographer... and I'm working as an independant geographer and developping the Nomad Maps Project

I am very passionate about biking and I create the Nomad Maps project 2 years ago. It's a mix of my three passions, Geography, travel and Bike. The purpose is to travel and map at the same time.
