Surfing this website

Today, here is a little presentation of some functionalities offered by this blog. I will essentially talk about the “sidebar” (column on the right)

Above the “About me” little box, you’ll find several links: “Categories”, In this section you’ll find a classification of the articles that I have already posted. In “My project” link you will be able to learn more about this project and its objectives. In Travelling in live you will be able to follow me geographically online. In case you need some help in order to prepare for your own trip, I have gathered some info available for you in the Data link. There’s also a FAQ section (Frequently asking questions) just in case you have any doubts.

On the right, the “Globetrotters” heading bring together different blog adresses about travellers that i really appreciated..

Just above, a simple click on the flag of your choice allows you to directly switch from one language to another (French / English).

Then come the pictures, generated by another a page, allowing you to still listen the music…

…that you can stop at every moment in the small player located just above the countdown.

Another incorporation that I have found very useful is a map from Google Maps that allows to show the place where I am at that very moment.

And to learn more about my real-time updates, follow me on Twitter. This is a totally free program that allows its user to generate some very short news (i.e. “Live from the streets of Mexico”) from everywhere (or almost), from the moment you get a phone network. Notifications sent are bring together into a page, an access available for everyone over the internet. But this is not everything: by creating directly a free account, you will then be able to receive (if choose to) direct notifications on my mobile phone (still for free). I am sure my parents will love this feature!!

For more information about Twitter in this video.

Now, let’s talk about the Newsletter. This feature will allow you to receive directly the last posts I have entered in your email account. Unsubscription at any time is a possibility so don’t worry.

Finally, the Podcast part located at the sidebar’s bottom will allow you to hear the latest audio report, through a small player similar to the one dedicated to music.

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.
