About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling around the world without plane!!!

ABOUT ME

Hey Hey!! I'm a 26 years old French buddy, that likes to do crazy things and have some fun. But I am also quite serious and respectful of the people I am with and the places I am at. I love to travel. When I was a kid, I traveled on a boat with my family, around the world for 3 years, we've been to many many countries, from France to French Polynesia, going through the American continent. After I came back to France for my studies,I started to travel around Europe any time I had holidays. After I finished my studies,I went to work in Dubai,as a civil engineer and worked 2 years there. All that was very cool. But now, I want to do what I've always been dreaming of!! Travel around the world without plane. I'm taking 2 years off, and I hope to visit a lot of people from all over the world... And you too may be?? :)

PHILOSOPHY

Don't really know for that one, there are many things I could say, but It would put me in a classify myself with received concepts or ideas... So I prefer to stay free, and tell you you'll discover me When you'll meet me!!

Interests

I'm very interested in the people and the cultures. My world trip is more about that thing of discovering and understanding how people live over the planet, and how it can and will change my perceptions of it as a froggy Christian European buddy...
I like to talk about everything as long as... we don't absolutely agree. Ha!HA! I mean it is always more attractive when somebody is persuading you of something or the opposite. I just find it magic how some people can open one's eyes on some other ideas he's never even imaginate...
Apart from that, I like to play basket ball, and every kind of high sensation sport: Sky diving,bungee jumping, surfing, snowboarding, kite surfing...

Rock'n'roll, ska ( I used to sing in a group when I was in my engineering school). Reggae, rap, Indy music... I'm not hard musicwise, I like almost everything... Except hard rock, metal and techno... Ha! Ha!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have rescued 2 little girls and there mother from a boat that was sinking, in French Polynesia, when I was 16. I'm quite proud of that, It is nice isn't? :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm quite good in mathematics and physics, but I don't think It is what interests my future friends...However we never know... I can help people in French, English and Spanish. I would love to learn Arabic and Russian. I'm quite good in repairing things in the house, so if you have got the tools, let me show u. I can cook some French food, some Spanish too...So if you like wine , bread and cheese...
