À propos de moi

CURRENT MISSION

Contributing to the advancement of space exploration before.... going and exploring Earth and the Stars myself.

ABOUT ME

I consider myself an open minded person who had the chance to travel to all continents before the age of 25. I got to live in very different cultural environments during my studies which made me realize that I actually wanted to go everywhere in this world! Everything needs to be discovered and explored, nothing is not worth the detour!
When I can't be on the road, I'm always keen to catch up with people who share this same kind of feelings.. So let me know if you're around the same place as I am!

Centres d'intérêt

Well, as I said before, traveling is addictive. The more you discover, the more you want to keep discovering. How are people living out there? We can be so different and similar at the same time. Wherever I go I know there will be always something to share or to laugh about with people, regardless how far and how different their life is from yours.

I also always have a book by my side, to read in the bus, before sleeping or whenever I find a moment I am not already taking the most of! Always trying to stay fit and practice sports, especially outdoors when I can such as climbing, hiking or simply running.
Photography is part of my hobbies as well. Even if it can turn out to be hard, I'm trying to immortalize all the amazing landscapes I give myself the chance to wandering through.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I have always been a thrill-seeker, and somehow a bit crazy, at least that's what my parents used to say! When I was 17 I started to save some money so I can pay myself a skydiving formation. I didn't want to go just for a trial jump but I wanted to learn how to jump alone so I could do it on a regular basis afterwards. So I did it. And it was amazing. After 6 jumps with an instructor, I jumped alone for the first time. There is no word to properly describe it but just to give you an idea, skydiving is not about falling, but about flying and feeling the freedom of having no limits and that everything is possible!

Another thing I would like to share is what I felt when I reached the summit of the most climbed 6000 meter high mountain in the bolivian Andes. If you have spent some time at high altitudes before starting it, and you're use to hike or climb or both then it is not such a tough climb and the reward you get for it is priceless. In just a day from the beginning of the trail you get to a refuge at an altitude of 4900 meters. The following day, waking up at midnight so the climb can start around 1 am. At torch light, by group of three, 2 persons and a guide all roped up together, with special gear, the slow ascension begins. Drinking a lot a water and having leaves of coca in your mouse to face altitude sickness. After some hours walking, lights of the Alto, just above La Paz, appear faraway to make your mind even more confused by such unrealness. The sensation I felt when we finally reached the summit, 6088 meters above sea level, is beyond any word. Dawn at the top of the world, Sun rises above the cloud line, the royal cordillera spreading below your feet, lake Titicaca in the far background and a tear making its way down my cheek, not able to resist this majestic scenery..
