ABOUT ME

Vaccinated for covid 19

Braun hair and eyes, 1m 95. I come from a small town near Lausanne in Switzerland.
My mother gave me the virus of traveling when she took me in a four weeks travel in guatemala. I was 10 years old. We were hosted by some of her friends (she spent a year in south America when she was young). I saw poverty and racism for the first time of my life and truly understood what it meant, (eat only tortillas for three weeks when you are 10 y. o. with unique game a ball made with corns and wool; see your friends being whistle at by white because they are mixed-race or amerindians). You understand pretty fast some values and that there is a problem in this world. I met different culture and people and I learnt spanish,(I almost totally forgot it).
I think this trip conditioned me for my entire life. I understood that a trip means (for me) meeting different culture and people in order to improve myself.
It also is certainly one cause of my need to be on the roads. I travel a lot by cheap ways (hitchhiking and walking) because it's the best way to keep in touch with its true heart, the locals.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the present moment. Give as much as you would like to receive. But never ask back because what you give is free.
