About Me

Born in 1989, I am a TV journalist, videomaker and a photography lover.
Take a look on my flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/henriaristide/

I live with Cecile my girlfriend a legal expect, protective of the environment and keen on wildlife.

In 2015 and 2016 we quit our jobs and our environment to travel.
We had together a social and a sporting project: "Generation 1989".
During one year we met people born in 1989 around the planet and we walked 1989km around the planet. Teaser made in Paris https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z25HoBXooe0

In 2017 we have a new project, the " WORLD HOSTING TOUR 2017". We want to make a new world tour but at home by hosting travellers. We will be glad if you would be part of it.
