CURRENT MISSION

Growing up through my travels and meetings.

ABOUT ME

I'm Kevin, 25 years-old. Chef at first, but more than happy to learn other jobs, because only one skill is not enough for a whole life !
Easy going and genuine ; the most important, in my opinion, is honesty.
My parents gave me the taste of travels. I went to the Reunion Island a couple of times, to Spain every year since I'm born. I also spent a year and a half in London, two years in Oz, and about eight months traveling south east Asia.
My next plan is to fly to Montreal in order to work for a year,then cross Canada to reach Vancouver.
Besides of my travel-frenzy, I like to party as much as staying home reading a nice book or enjoying a good home-cooked meal with my mates.

PHILOSOPHY

- It's when you're down to the ground that the most beautiful things happen to you.

- Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

. Going fishing in the early hours with a fisherman and his wife in Philippines. While we're waiting to pull the net back up onto that tiny tiny boat, the sun rises and let us see a smoky volcano, that seemed to be the guardian of the visaya sea...

. Sleeping on top of the Devil's Marbles (Australia), under a dazzling full moon and awake at 5am with the sunrise all over the desert..
