About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Leave no trace

ABOUT ME

2 hands, 2 feet, 1 head.
Trying to make them work all together in a rational way.

PHILOSOPHY

Simple guy, just willing to get a simple life.
No need to go 20 000 km away for 15 days of holidays, just to bring back a camera full of pictures, you will find the same ones on the internet.
I am just thinking that travelling becomes a must, that more and more people can afford, but with more and more damages for our environnment.
So if you can avoid going somewhere if not really required, it is just nice to avoid going and thinking you made a good choice for environnement.
If the world already comes to me thanks to CS, no need for me to go to the world.
