About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world

ABOUT ME

Our blog about the gap year we took in 2011-2012 :
http://globedocteurs.blogspot.fr/

Emi : I am very open-minded, and the most important goal in my life is to travel around the world and meet different people, learn about their culture, their way of life, because I think everyone has something to share. I enjoy having fun, partying, and discovering new places.

Mathieu : grew up abroad, so I'm fascinated by all countries, cultures, languages, mythology. I try to be open-minded and curious. I like doing sport especially football with Emi, rugby without Emi, and learning typical sports from your country. I also cycle when I have time.

Mathieu : Everything that I don't know ! and the rest...
cinema, books, sports, news, medicin, scuba diving, watching birds, walking in the mountains, talking with a beer or a glass of wine. I'm gonna try drawing with pastels.
