About Me

Hey guys !
Want to know all about me ?

well... hem...
The answers for life, universe and everything is : 42 !

Ok then seriously :
I'm a nomad webdesigner! I've never been more than 3 years in the same place since 12 years, that's my way to work... and my way to live is quite similar!

I want to go everywhere, i just need my backpack, my tent and a few stuff and let's rise !
I've done trips in many place : 38 countries / 5 continents...
I lived and work in : Paris, Montreal, Boston, Melbourne

So i have many fun (and crazy) stories ;)
I'm just curious about everything!!

Now I study Wilderness Guide in Finland (Tampere area).
