Torn between the addiction to wild space and human encounter. Happiness is matter of balance. Since i'm born i never settled down more than a handful of years and I may never do.

After realising sedantarism wasn't going to do it for me, I decided to give up on it. I quited my job and started walking toward the East. An alternative path through life that leaded me much further than I thought. After 7 years, 4 winters, 3 rainy seasons, and some 21 000 km I came to the conclusion that less we care about the passing time, more we have of it.

If you curious and want to know more about the long walk you can read one of the articles wrote about it in the press (language available: Fr En Tr Ge Ru Cn Vn Th Ms In):

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The couchsurfing community has always been a key support to my journey. Thanks to this awesome community I was able to spend a year kazakhstan on a business visa, get precious advise to define the best route and border crossing, find beautiful people to walk with me and hundreds of friends holding part of my stories and keys of my futures possiblities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-I walked across the whole range of climates that spread from Europe to Oceania. Sleeping in tent by -28°C. walking by +46°C, a literally head spinning temperature.
-I walked half a year in single unique landscape: the steppes. Faced severe dehydration to a point where I stopped thinking straight.
-I Walked 3 weeks over 4000m in a planned underfed state due to the huge distance that stretch between two villages in the Tibetan plateau.
-I stayed 11 days macheting my way through the jungle, experiencing what's called "jungle rot" from staying too long under the extreme humidity of the rainforest canopy.
