CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
[Edit 04.2023]

Hey, salut à toi, fellow traveler!

I'm Benoît, an idealistic guy, in love with nature! I had the chance to explore quite a lot our planet, to discover the centroamerican life and cultures,
and since 5-6 years, I'm living near the cosmopolitan harbour city of Hamburg!

Well, I've already seen quite a lot of our beautiful little rock lost in space. I really want to keep discovering and meeting amazing persons, surprising and interesting, everywhere I go. But I wanna go slower now, just by train or buke.

Little bees keep me busy, what a buzzzzz, every day! 😉

PHILOSOPHY

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking/climbing Galdhøpiggen (highest peak in Scandinavia, in 🇳🇴), a 16th of July under a snowstorm! Wild! 🏔️🌨️

Watching blue and yellow macaws screaming, playing and flying over the canopy of the Amazon forest. Fascinating! 🦜

Getting lost between the sequoias in northern California. Majestic! 🏞️

Feeling back down on the food chain, hiking in Yellowstone, in grizzly and wolves territory. Quite scary! 🐻

Paragliding over Río de Janeiro and landing on the beach!

Teach, Learn, Share

'wanna know more about bees? ;) I'm your man!

I could teach you some French, Spanish, English, Portuguese and German.

Love botanic, plants/wood/tree, environmental protection, global climate change issues and gardening.

And... (almost) always in the mood for cooking great food with you!
