I recently told you about the amazing experience lived by 2 french guys in 2003. t’s now time for me to present you the whole movie (1 hour long) of their project. Everything is in French, but you’ll enjoy all the beautiful landscapes for sure. I also recently contacted Raphael, and will hopefully be able to interview these two real globetrotters soon !

Through the preparation of my one year trip around the world, I already spoke about the electronic stuff. Few weeks ago, I was still ready to buy an EeePC. With an unbeatable price, this small laptop really offers a very huge advantage for the traveler in terms of space taken in the backpack.

But I changed my mind !In order to maximize the qualitative aspect of the website during the trip, I finally chose to bring with me my Macbook. That will means for you (partly) more edited videos thanks to the Final Cut software, and for me a chance to use the 250 Go hard disk as a back-up solution. What about the disadvantages ? Definitely its weight ! Regarding its size, it’s not that far from the original EeePC 900. Of course, I do agree that I will have to be very paranoid during the whole trip in order to avoid thieveries. As a consequence, it is obvious that I will take care of not showing off, epecially in some risky area (mostly Central America and South America).

Through my search on how to make a world tour, I have the opportunity to find some really nice things, even amazing ones. Raphaël de Casabianca and Antoine Delaplace are two young french men who left in 2003 for a one year trip around the world. Be patient, the full version is coming these days (1hr movie).

Preview.

This week, I’ve been to the Connaisseurs du Voyage travel agency in order to get my flight tickets. What a strange feeling to hold a life’s dream in your hands…I have to confess that I really felt an impressive shiver while I was opening the folder the travel agency gave me.

Moreover, I also started to book some flights. I’m currently able to confirm some precise dates (not all of them because it was impossible to book flights after the 22 of June 2009) about the flights…Here are all the dates, that will remain unchanged ! (Read more…)

I recently introduced you in a previous article the concept of couchsurfing. More than a simple way to travel cheaper, it’s also a wonderful opportunity to meet people from other countries, other cultures. I just had my first couchsurfing experience with 2 girls grom Argentina who stayed few days in Paris ! What an opportunity to learn from their experience ! Natalia and Laura, thanks for your time, your sympathy and i wish you all the best for the rest of your trip. I miss you ! Here is the my interview from them.

The new version of my sponsorship report is now available (even if it’s still in french) !

This version includes a better design and you can download it directly from the blog’s sidebar.

If ever you are experiencing some difficulties while reading it, thank you to let me know it.

I guess you were waiting for it for a while, here it is finally : the third podcast of this adventure.

And there is a lot of hot news inside !
