While looking at the blog’s statistics, I recently noticed that the blog got more than 12 000 unique visitors from 89 different countries. This is a great reward for me since i really spent (and still spending !) a lot of time building english and spanish versions. Once again, thank you for your support.

Few days ago, Google launched a promotional campaign for Adwords, while offering 100 € of credit to owners of an Analytics account who are not yet subscribed to the advertisement PPP (Pay per click) service. I did not hesitate and was really interested in using Adwords as a very original way to communicate and to advertize the project.

The way the movies are shot allows you to really feel that you’re also travelling with them and I was definitely amazed by such great experiences. It was very interesting to meet Laurent Granier and Megan Son who both left for 3 years to travel 6000km by feet all along this road (from Colombia to Chile). Here are some pictures of the party.
