About Me

CURRENT MISSION

cycling or death! (Actually cycling around SE Asia)

ABOUT ME

Well I'm a french guy, travelling with my girlfriend since september 2011. We started cycling in Saigon, and plan to go to myanmar and india after.
so don't have a couch right now, but definetely have one when i'll settle down again.

About me in few words: like to relax, discover, good food, music (world music, jazz, reggae,...) cook (it's not a lie), good wine (cheap wine is fine), and of course travel! it's simply the best way to see things differently... and there's always a crazy story or situation that make you think "this won't be my last trip for sure".

PHILOSOPHY

always be open to new ideas, you never know... everybody has something to teach you.
and keep cool and positive, in this world of stress and scepticism!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies, books and music so there could be a long long list... but now, right now I' thinking about:
Movies: brazil, chat noir chat blanc (kusturica), into the wild, back in the future, the big lebowski
books: 1984, gringoland, le meilleur des mondes, j'irai cracher sur vos tombes, la horde du contrevent, white tiger...
music: the doors, buena vista social club, manu chao, fela kuti, led zep, the no smoking orchestra, noir désir, israel vibrations, al jawala, ray charles, and so on

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i was bitten by a ray on a lonely beach, and get cured with gasoline and fire by local people
how welcoming and helping poor people can be when you ask for something... really something to learn there

Teach, Learn, Share

Something i REALLY want to learn: brew beers.
and also be better in growing veggies
I can teach:... stuff about renewable energies, build systems... (sounds boring, i know, but could be useful who knows?)
share: good times!!!
