CURRENT MISSION

Crossing Central and South America

ABOUT ME

Hi guys,

My name is Martin, 28 years old French who left his country in 2009 to travel.
Since then I've been mostly living in Asia, but one of my many others interests is South America.

So after one year living in South Korea, I decided to carry my backpack again to travel there.
I'm now in Mexico at the same time I'm writing these lines and a good friend of mine recommend me this website.
I love hostels and guesthouses but I'm studying spanish by myself and in hostels, I'm not meeting locals.
I want to meet, eat, speak, live local!

So if you are up for a drink, or just to introduce me your city, share and talk about our mutual experiences, let's meet soon.

Cheers
Martin

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It happens a lot for me to getting my eyes wet when I'm in front of a night landscape but I will remember all my life this road trip I took in motobike in the north of Vietnam.
I stop by in front of mountains close to Sapa after a crazy, wild and beautiful 1000 km two days trip.
I still remember the feeling. Tears rolled down on my cheeks.
But I was smiling with a real full of happiness smile. It happens sometimes on the road but never as strong that this moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm actually waiting for my exam results to be french teacher at the alliance francaise.
I was diving instructor in Philippines, I managed a guesthouse in South korea and worked for a whole year in Australia. I think I can try to give you advice on all Asians countries I've been.

In exchange, I would love you to try to share with me your culture, language, special food, and experiences.
