ABOUT ME

World belongs to those who dare [C. Chaplin]
Le Monde appartient à celui qui ose

PHILOSOPHY

O. Wild, irish poet, said : " “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."

I consider it's important to live, to make every day, every minute, and each moment, something that make you live, and happy. It's my Carpe Diem philosophy. I think that a traveller (As me... As you) is firstly a lucky person : He is doing what peoples could never do, because of health, money, job, politic issues. I don't forget it. I enjoy my luck, I enjoy my travels, like I should enjoy life.
