CURRENT MISSION

Let curiosity drive everything in life ! Going places I have never been to, meeting people I have never imagined I would be meeting with !!

ABOUT ME

I am a compulsive traveler who would like to discover the whole world and visit every single country and enjoy every subtle cultural difference in mankind ! I believe we are all equal and every single culture has some value. I used to look for beautiful natural spots when traveling, now I believe the real treasures are in people!
I am a passionate person who has many interests that I want to share ... and I love to learn from others as well !

Atheism, hedonism...
Now that I live in China, I got really interested in Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism... the 3 wisdoms of China!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have watched the sunset in Belize jungle from the top of a Maya temple (closed to tourists) and heard the perrots and howler monkeys setting to go to bed... Unbelievable! The best was to witness that moment with very good friends!!!
The second best things was getting a surprise birthday party in Cuba with the whole neighborhood participating... so generous people.
The third would be attending to a funeral party (before the actual funeral service) in Jamaica with a reggae band playing live
But there are many more... life and people around the world are full of amazing surprises !!!!!
