Hello world,

I am yoann 32 years old, french wanderer and I grew up in the South West of France, in a rural region full of farming well sense; since my youngest I have been close to nature and animals.

After several university trials I decided to learn real job, masonry, restaurant, sommelier, viticulture; very active in thinking about the world of tomorrow, I have confidence in life, it is kinda obvious for me that respect and awareness of Nature is one of the best ways to follow.

Particularly attentive to the well-being of everyone, I have learned over time to focus on listening unlike of too much blah-blah; I believe that happiness is found in the little things in life and I think that to fully blossom it is important to have a rich and shared spirituality; I like to have long conversations with the others to cross the philosophies of life. My friends say of me that I have a strong will, that I am dedicated and caring, easy going and above all someone you can trust.

When I give my friendship it's for life. The passions that make me vibrate are reading, writing (short stories, poetry, podcasts), long distance hiking (thru-hiking), cinema, music, art, sciences and so many other things. I have lot of dreams so I decided to realize the craziest: to go around the world by walking, favoring mountain paths and to meet people outside the cities. Until now i crossed all the Est of Europe from France to Turkey, a wonderfull trip when I experimented long lonelyless moment, wild part of myself, animalwatching, physical overtaking totaly out of confort and lot of spontaneous meeting.
I'm open-minded and I want to understand the World, but not everething preserve poetry is so much important ; I like People and i don't have misconceptions, everyday i chase this disturbing thoughts out of my brains.

That's why I want to optimize my chance to meet the people around Earth. I travel on a very small budget, I mostly sleep outside, I don't push for hospitality, I let chance guide my encounters; If you agree to welcome me, I can guarantee you one important thing: to be myself and sincere.

Carl Gustav Jung, one of the most important occident thinker - in my opinion wrote :

"You are what you're doing not what you say you will do."

These words resonate in my heart every day.

Hope to meet you.
