Travel C.V. The Happy Wanderer

About me: My religion is travel, exploration and adventure. I beleive very strongly we have to make the most of our time on earth and the world is so varied and wonderful, there's just too much to see. i travel mostly in areas little visited by tourists, usually on a reletively low budget and if possible on extended trips. I'm obsessed with the idea of making the most of life and trying to see as much of this great planet as possible, the different cultures and wild natural places. I'm a pretty conventional guy in many ways but my goals in life and my way of living life is far from conventional.
Location: THE WORLD! But mostly S.E. France
