About Me

2019 update :

I am now travelling with my little sister, who wants to discover a bit of the world before working.
We already visited eastern Europe, Istanbul and Grèce. Japan, again for me !, Thaïlande, China, Cambodge and Laos, at least, to come !

CURRENT MISSION

Voyager : faire le tour du monde à pied et en stop

Travelling all around the world, mainly by foot and hitchhiking.

ABOUT ME

Hello !

I am a French guy who decided to travel for a while after graduating in September 2011 and... who liked it so much that the while hasn't ended yet !
My main travels include three months in Togo, four in Senegal, twice two in India, also twice two months in Kyrgyzstan, à trek in the Pamirs, in Tadjikistan... And a year in Japan ! Where I spent à month wwoofing in a ranch in Hokkaido, five months travelling, half by foot and hitchhiking and half by bicycle and six months working in a wine bar in Nishi-Azabu, in Tokyo.

I really like to discover new things, about people, about ways of thinking, about ways of dressing, about food, about languages...

I like sport of all kind, I play go, the piano, and usually think the more the merrier, so let's do whatever together

PHILOSOPHY

Aide ton prochain, help eachother (kind of).

And I really like to observe différent societies and to try to understand how they work, why they last, or not...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To wake up in the middle of the night in my sleeping bag with a huge black scorpio on my face, in the middle of nowhere in Marocco.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French and English languages, French cuisine, go, the piano and some sports, especially racket and mountain sports.

I would love to learn new languages, especially more about Japanese, new cuisine, and in general whatever you like. I am curious and just like to learn new things.
