CURRENT MISSION

Travelling Europe and Asia

ABOUT ME

Unconventional dude I guess. I do not follow the straight and narrow.

During the summer of 2012, I toured Europe solo on my bike (4500 km). I went north from Toulouse, France to Oslo, Norway and back south to Berlin, Prague and Vienna and then Turkey in the fall.

In the fall of 2014, I rode down the U.S. west coast from Vancouver, Canada to the Mexican border at Tijuana.

I then took a flight from L.A. to Bangkok and spent another 5 months bopping around southeast Asia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and Myanmar, sometimes biking and the rest of the time by public transport.

2018 is a new travelling year with bike tours in Mexico for six weeks from Oaxaca to Guanajuato and then two and a half months during summer with "mon amoureuse" in France.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met wonderful people people on CS, some of which will remain my friends forever (I hope). I also met people through warmshowers.org for bike touring crazies. :-)

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

So many... I'm reading Nicolas Bouvier's "L'usage du monde", Train de nuit pour Lisbonne; movies: Moonrise Kingdom, Melancholia, "Intouchables" from Toledano / Nakache; music: still tripping on The War on Drugs but again, so much stuff I love.

Reading books is like meeting people: it's an ongoing process like life...

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Raising our children; being at the top of the Giza pyramid in Egypt to see the sun rise; and of course trekking the Himalayas to Everest Base Camp (especially that crazy flight to Lukla).

Having a 360˚ view of Istanbul at night from the top of the Marmara Hotel.

...and the list foes on!
