CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world and its inhabitants / Découvrir la planète et ses habitants

ABOUT ME

As you can see, I enjoy travelling, it's my way of life. I just spend too few time to make live it, that's why I didn't make many travels by the past, especially in foreign countries.
I think well know his/her country is one of the first thing to do, especially when you live a beautiful country (I'm not nationalist!).
I like discovering nature as much as I like discovering people.
Couchsurfing is mine!!

/ Comme vous le constaterez, j'aime voyager, c'est ma raison d'être. Mon seul problème est de me donner le temps à ma passion, c'est pourquoi je n'ai pas beaucoup voyagé, notamment à l'étranger. je considère qu'il s'agit de bien connaître son pays , en premier lieu, surtout lorsque vous habitez un beau pays.
J'aime autant découvrir l'aspect paysager que l'aspect humain et culturel. Ce site est fait pour moi.

PHILOSOPHY

- Better seeing once a time than hearing one hundred times / Mieux vaut voir une fois qu'entendre cent fois
- Don't criticize to others they can criticize to you / Ne pas reprocher aux autres ce que l'on peut se reprocher à soi-même

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not really an amazing thing done.
I was just lucky one day to cross the Manche without having a control by the border police.

During my last trip, I'd love to go in the US but the border police (and a sheriff!) was too nervous...and don't let us to go back in Canada without having a big identity control ! INCREDIBLE
