CURRENT MISSION To get the best out of this life, and fill it with joy and happiness ABOUT ME I was born in Algeria (northern Africa) in the mid 70s, and grew up in France in the close suburb of Paris, east side. I studied mathematics, physics and computer science, but I'm also interested in history and philosophy and foreign languages. PHILOSOPHY Quote from french explorator Alexandra David Neel : "He who travels without meeting other people, is not travelling, he is just in movement" This is the basic idea and the main philosophy of this website, and it's also mine, because there ain't no better way to discover a country than by sharing the daily life of its inhabitants and spend time with its people, it makes your travelling experience more authentic, it gives you a better insight. Otherwise you would see nothing but landscapes, buildings, historic monuments and museums.
