| I am 29, French, on a long journey since 4 years while I hitch hiked across Asia, rode 10.000km on a motorcycle in South East Asia, volunteer 3 months in a Vietnamese school, built a bamboo raft for a week sail on the Namtok river in Thailand, worked as builder and home renovator in NZ and Australia, lived for a week in my hand made igloo in New Zealand, did heaps of remote hikes anywhere. Well, I am passionate by new experiences, real adventures and a lover of mother Nature. As a mechanical engineer, I used to design aircraft parts and flying gliders. I have been hooked up by sailing only 1,5 year ago and decided to try the most of it, safely and with a constant learning. I have now over 2000 NM in open water as crew and skipper. | |
