About Me

CURRENT MISSION

spending time on the summits

ABOUT ME

I'm 34 years old and I live close to Chamonix. My village is called Cordon, it's a really beautiful area with a nice view on the summits. There are many paths form my flat climbing up to the summit.
I'm working as a mountain guide in Summer and winter. When I've free time, I'm still going in the mountains but with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

The art of travel
The journey will first and foremost to discover new horizons, new cultures, enjoy the atmosphere of a country. This is how I love to travel. Being in contact with the public, discuss, exchange. I need to escape the main tourist and discover a country by my own desires. Change his lifestyle, rehabilitation and return to its roots nomad is not to stay longer than three days in one place. Travel to discover the nature and absorb it. Moved to each new place, feel privileged to observe so much beauty and discover a second life. A life where pleasure and freedom meet. Pleasure of each moment and a constant happiness to practice something that you love.

And then the journey can also reflect on itself. To question. We do not take enough time to think about their own lives, acts that we do. The trip can be found or in some cases to discover. Free to think for a whole day at home, in the world, around us and everything we can through the head. The trip was part of philosophy very important because we run into often concrete goals such as Cape North, but it is above all an inner journey and personal. As the mountain that allows us to escape, travel allows us to somehow change our world, changing our environment and soothes us.
Thus, we return often different from a trip, grew up with a new reflection on society, human relationships that surround us and so on. We take a different view of the world, a new look and cleared.
