About Me

ABOUT ME

- I left my country since 2018 to travel and cross Africa on foot and hitchhiking

- Visit of the secret city of Touba in Senegal for MAGAL with 6 million people
- Lost in the jungle between Guinea Bissau and Guinea Conakry for 3 days
- Hitchhiking by plane with the UN to Timbuktu
- Stuck in shootout between UN forces and rebels in Mali
- Hitchhike on a shipping boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean and visit Annobon Island
- imprisoned in Nigeria for 3 nights

- Kidnapped in DR Congo
- Spend 2 weeks in the bush with pygmy tribes
- Stuck in the coast of Sekelton in Namibia surrounded by lions
- ....
- I'm travelling so slow because I like to meet people spontaneously on the road.
- I had such great experience with Couchsurfing when I hosted people in my home town, that I would like to renew it on my way to Africa .

PHILOSOPHY

- When I give to someone I don't want nothing back, but if he can give to another people, this makes everything going better
