About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am starting a "I don't know how long" travel across the world. Want to discover other cultures and habits and share mine wit has many people as possible !

ABOUT ME

I am a French dreamer. I quitted my job and confortable life to confront myself to the world !
I think we are not meant to spend our entire life working as animals and that we need to concentrate on us. I mean sharing good times with anybody. Stop undergoing life and sart enjoying it !

I want also to feel closer to the earth... That might seems strange but in our city lifes we are surrounded by concrete and we lost the connection with nature.
I want to feel the planet by discovering its fauna and flora ! I want to start by scuba diving I discovered last summer and go hiking discovering the parts of the world differently !

Finally I am a sport addict. I was playing football in France and I started with Kitesurf in Australia. I want to keep on scuba diving, and discover sports that are far away from my French habits...

I hope this had not been to boring and if you want to know more about me check my website out.

STARTUP

I co-founded a startup in 2015. It's called Make It Travel (www.makeittravel.com).
It's a platform where you can rent your travel gear instead of buying it !
You need a surfboard, renting it to one local around would be cheaper and nice as sharing experience than renting it in a shop.
You go hiking for 2 weeks but you don't have a tent. Make It Travel helps you find a great quality tent that would cost only a fraction of what you'd have paid to get it new.
That 's what we offer ! Currently in France but soon, everywhere.

PHILOSOPHY

"Rien ne fait mieux passer la vie que la preoccupation incessante d'une idee, qu'un ideal." -- Gustave Flaubert
(French writer)
"They didn't know it was impossible so they did it!" --Mark Twain (American author)

Life is short, we must focus on living and experiencing real things that make you feel alive ! Enjoy it, live it !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been in 2013 several times in Haïti. I went there for my job but I could finally see how the reality was over there compared to what we hear and see on TV.
It also allowed me to think more about who I am and what I want to do in my life !

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure I can teach. I want to learn as much as possible. I will share everything I have !

More seriously, I can give a hand with computers (daily use or programming) Maybe we can try with some foreign languages (French or Spanish). Then we'll see what we're up to.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Brazil, Cameroon, Haiti, India, Norway, Switzerland, Thailand

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain
