About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a podcaster (in french), one is about travel, the second is about anthropology, and my next goal is to make a reportage about independence !

ABOUT ME

All ? Seriously ? No, forget it, I can't say all without a good beer.
I'm just a 29 old man, one of my favorite occupation is to make podcast, I have two of them, one about travel (liiiiiike it), more than 60 episodes now (in french), and one about anthropology. I like this way to communicate with people, share passion, share story about our small world, and learn a lot about everything too. You can listen to that in voyagecast.ch, my blog.
My next big thing is to make a reportage about independence, between Canada and the US, that's why I travel with my mic ;-)
For the other things, I really like to travel, to speak with people, to spend time to walk to discover cities, just benefit my time ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy my life. Yes, really.
My job is cool, I like to podcast, I can travel, what do you want more ?
Philosophy ? "Sky is the limit" and "time will tell". And I try to be a "good man", it's hard, but I'm not the worse ;-)
