About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel all around the world, only with a backpack and a cardboard where it's simply written on : FAR ...

ABOUT ME

I am curious about everything.

I like to joke around.

I lose things all the time, like my glasses today!

PHILOSOPHY

"Un voyage se passe de motifs. Il ne tarde pas à prouver qu'il se suffit à lui-même. On croit qu'on va faire un voyage, mais bientôt c'est le voyage qui vous fait, ou vous défait."

Nicolas Bouvier > "l'usage du monde"

Roughly this translates to...

"you do not make travels your travels make you..."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped build a community center in India to bring peace to a village of Muslims, Hindus and Christians.

I spend one night in a remote village of Dassanetch tribe, in the deep south of Ethiopia (Low Omo Valley) where they had never seen white person ("faranji" locally called) before my time there !

Teach, Learn, Share

When you travel take your time in each place because when you take your time you can truly discover them. I think it is very important when you travel to meet local people.
