Travelling is, like you, one of my great passion. I can't stop rewritting my list of places-to-see-if-I-win-the-lottery. I'm lucky to already have made it to a few of my dream location.

I wanted to see the mediteraneen sea, like in the old french movies I saw when I was a kid. I did.

I wanted to see a sunset on the ocean. I did.

I wanted to see the birds of Costa Rica. I did.

Still on top of my list I made when I was a kid:
- kayak trip around Alaska icebergs
- Moscow and the Red Place (for the ice cream cone architecture)
- Photo Safari in Africa
- Morroco (at xmas in the snow and cold, the ubiquitous fruit was a little orange with a black sticker on it saying Maroc... I had to see this place!)
- Peru and Matchu Pichu (at first, mostly just for the name!)
- Egypt (for a boat ride on the Nile like in the Agatha Christie book)
- Rollerblading on the coast of California

Mother Earth, Mosaiculture (infra-red)

An other hobby in my life is now photography. And it will start to dictate more and more the choice of my destination. Seeing the world is one of the great gift in life, but seeing throught a lens enhance my senses and my experience.

Butterfly, Costa Rica

My brother and his star

And my newest filrt is my motorcycle. I obtain my permit last year and started to roam around a little bit. During winter, when she's sleeping, every ride in my car feels like a lost. All this countryside I could have explore out there on my Honda... I plan to enjoy it more and more, traveling to take advantage of its opportunites, accomodate this new passion.

In the last moto show here in Montreal, a group was offering a motocycle ride in Turquey (I think). It looked amazing!

My first trout, La Verendrye Park

Oh yeah, another thing that's is starting to color my free time and my travels: fishing. In fact, my friend is the real motor behind it. But he's kind (and passionate) enough to let me pick a destination and then name the really cool fish we could be fishing there.

My Beetle verte

My VT name... My green Beetle... my first car and another childhood dream. But she's going back home in a few days. Not sure if I can keep my name!

Woah, I don't think I've ever seen your pages before, Genevieve. Well done! I just got back from a day of horseback riding in Gatineau. Lovely experience, but cold--luckily the wind wasn't going that day. Cheers from North Bay, Ed.
