About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have been ending a 5 years long journey started in 2010, traveling on a very low budget, hitchhiking and wandering all around Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and the middle-east. I went back "home" to France in December 2014.
Since then, I'm working as a network technician in Chartres, saving money, having some little trips here and there, and thinking about the next big travel...

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, wandering, wwoofing, discovering cultures and ways of life in mysterious countries. I love hitchhiking, cycling and hiking in the wild, mountains, deserts, forests... I sometimes love to visit cities too, to admire the great work of human civilizations . I love snorkeling and diving in beautiful waters. Love to try new food and new tastes, especially all kind of asian food, from indian to indonesian and from chinese to thai cuisine... In fact, I love and wish to explore the world again and again ! :-)
