Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To ride a bicycle from Paris to South East Asia
ABOUT ME
I love to discover the world and the great outdoors. Driven by curiosity and energy I will be cycling from Paris to somewhere to South East Asia on a self sustained trip by bicycle with my partner Michelle.
I am Canadian, Quebecois but have spent the last 4 years living in Australia. There I worked as a teacher for trouble kids that quite school or got kicked out. I loved this job but the call to discover new cultures, languages and embarke on nutty travel got the best of me. I also organised a community bicycle workshop in Sydney called Cycle Re Cycle aka Bike Club.
PHILOSOPHY
Carpediem! Cease the day. Live every day as it could be your last and if possible in the mean time, make this world a better place.
