A big step has been overcomed

Today, I’ve two excellent news to share with you that will really boost my project .

First, I had an appointment with my financial advisor yesterday at Crédit Lyonnais, to whom I have presented my project. A loan authorised by my bank had emerged from this discussion. I’m already thinking of reimbursing this loan before leaving, in order to save money. I will accomplish this with the temporary job I am planning to take for 5 months after the master is finished by the end of June. My goal is to reimburse 3400 € spent today at Connaisseurs du Voyage…

Hot news indeed! And this is the second important news of the day: I’ve been in the parisian travel agency (located close to the Eiffel Tower) to book my flights! I have just bought an “itinerary”, due to the fact that calendar for 2009 is not yet available. I’ll then have to go back to the travel agency to specify final dates with Michel, parisian manager of the company. So finally, here is my definitive trip. However, never forget that there’s always a chance of slightly changing the trip in order to experience this journey at its fullest!…And also because as already said earlier, the real traveller doesn’t know where he goes…

I have recently started to inform myself about the first countries that I’m going to visit, such as Canada, United-States, and Mexico. To get hold of information, I have bought 2 books: Parcs Nationaux de l’Ouest américain (National parks across West America, which is an area that I can’t wait to visit !) and a guide about Mexico. Of course, I’m also taking into account the presence of some of my friends all along the trip to improve my programs. Moreover, I have just learnt today that Finland was added to my world tour (transit at Helsinki between St-Petersburg and Paris). I’ll probably stay there for a few days so “Hello” Finlanders! Here I come!Anyway, a huge step has been overcome, and it will now allow me to focus on positing my approaches about health, paperworks and countries (without neglecting my work at ESG).Next step : Canada !

About me

I'm a 23 years old young graduate, living in Lyon, France and who is preparing for a 12 months trip around the world. The purpose of this travel is to fully comprehend the international environment by looking through different people’s eyes. Together we will be learning about each countries values and beliefs, fears and dreams, worries and concerns through pictures, people’s stories and my experiences. Hopefully, this will bring a new point of view, a new perspective over the world’s view.
