One day I read this beautiful phrase “they didn’t know it was impossible, so they did it”. Sometimes, I set crazy goals for myself, to keep dreaming, to make you dream, and just because I can !<\/p>\n

Some time ago, with my friend Antoine<\/a>, we decided to hitchhike across USA from East to West<\/a>. We did it impulsively, we thought that “it could work” and strongly believed, and we just did it !<\/p>\n

I make dreams come true every time, I live my life to the fullest with a very large smile. But I am far from jaded and I still have a lot of dreams in my head, and great adventures to live !<\/p>\n

1. Surfing in Hawaii<\/h1>\n

\"hawaii\"<\/a>Despite my poor surfing skills, I love this sport and I have paddled in a few nice spots :
\n– Hunington Beach, California, the cradle of the surfing brand Quicksilver\/Roxy
\n– Tahiti, but the waves are way too big for me
\n– Sydney, Australia
\n– Bali, Indonesia
\nHawaii is really a mythic place for surfing, so I decided to spend a week there and surf as much as possible. At that moment my good friend Laurent, Kitesurfer, invited me to go with him. And there I was, in Hawaii, for the first week of September. One more great dream coming true ! I will tell you another one soon…<\/p>\n

2. Riding horses in Mongolia<\/h1>\n

\"mongoli\"<\/a>Mongolia is the country of the world with the lowest population density. Its big spaces and its mysterious people living in yurts always attracted me. I followed R\u00e9mi’s<\/a> trip and it definitely convinced me to make a trip there. What means of transport is better than horses there ? I can imagine myself riding in the vast areas of steppes.<\/p>\n

3. Going round Latin America on a motorcycle<\/h1>\n

\"cheDiario\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the movies I enjoyed the most is Diarios de Motocicleta\/Travel diariy. This movie tells the story of Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s trip, a young 23 year old doctor, with his friend Alberto Granado across South America in 1952, on “La Poderosa”, a Norton 500 motorcycle. We see how, over the people he met and the social injustices and the misery he witnessed, Ernesto turned into Che Guevara.<\/p>\n

Over my trips, the people I met, I get influenced and my behavior changes. This movie shows exactly my vision of trips. I would like to make the same trip, I am looking for a Spanish speaking companion, who has a motorcycle driving license and has knowledge about mechanics.<\/p>\n

4. Going across Africa on a bike<\/h1>\n

\"afrique\"<\/a>One day I met Gabriel, he was coming from a 2 and a half year trip on bike across Africa. He went through 29 countries and made more than 35000 km. It was mostly a great human adventure he lived with his girlfriend. This trip is also an initiatory trip to better know ourselves, meet people living in a world totally different from ours, and think with a better point of view of our planet. The big picture.<\/p>\n

5. Indonesia on a seaplane<\/h1>\n

\"hydravion\"<\/a>I was sitting on a rock with Fabien, watching the sunset over the Agung volcano, when he told me that he would like to have a seaplane, that it would be the ideal means of transportation in Indonesia. I love flying, on a airliner as well as on a small plane. I planned to complete a PPL (Private Pilot License) and this idea is very exciting. I recently talked about seaplanes with Elliot, and this project came again to my mind. Furthermore, I fell in love with Bali, so I keep this project in mind and it might become true one day !<\/p>\n

6. Snowmobile in Laponia<\/h1>\n

\"motoneige\"<\/a>During my trip to Sweden, I met Mikael who lives in Skellefte\u00e5. It snows there from October to April, a subarctic climate ideal for his hobby : snowmobile. I watched his videos, it gives a real feeling of freedom and exciting sliding. I intend to go back there at the end of winter in March, to make a long ride with him on a snowmobile and see these big white landscapes.<\/p>\n

7. Boat Trip Baltic Sea<\/h1>\n

\"voiliers\"<\/a>I am not a huge fan of boats, but during my trip to Sweden I realized that Scandinavia has large water bodies and is surrounded by the sea. I really enjoyed my boat trip in the archipel of Stockholm, and while talking with Olivier, my travel buddy in Scandinavia, I thought that I would be happy to do it on a big sailboat, with a skipper of course !
\nMy trip would be as follows : Stockholm – Helsinki – Saint-Petersbourg – Talin<\/p>\n

8. Make a road trip in a Volkswagen Combi in Australia<\/h1>\n

\"combi\"<\/a>
\nThe\u00a0Volkswagen Combi is a mythic vehicle. During my two trips to Sidney I came across a lot of these, it is THE surfers’ vehicle. I love surfing and sliding sports in general and I love Australia. I dream to see the biggest rock of the world : the ayers rock in Uluru. In my mind we would be a group of happy friends and I wouldn’t be the driver !<\/p>\n

9. San Diego -> San Francisco en Roller<\/h1>\n

\"california\"<\/a>I love roller, it’s one the sports I practiced for the longest time, I have full control over my rollers and I am able to make long distances without getting too tired. California is a mythic place for rollers.
\n\"roller\"<\/a><\/p>\n

10. Quad in the desert<\/h1>\n

\"desert\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Roses Des Sables<\/a> trophy gave me this kind of crazy idea. I want to visit the desert, and I love quads, a great combination to slide on the dunes !<\/p>\n
