ABOUT US
After 7 months living in Australia in 2007, we've been backpacking in Canada/Alaska on a 4 months' West-to-East odyssey in 2008, Scotland in 2009, Lappland in Sweden in 2010 and the last trip in Iceland and Greenland, 5 weeks in may/june 2010. We just want to travel our whole life! We stopped for a while as we are parents since summer 2011 but still travel of course!
We lived in the Netherlands in 2012 and came back in France in 2013.
PHILOSOPHY
You must be the change you want to see in the world.
