Thank you for dropping by.

I was born in Paris, France, traveled through Europe as a teen, and moved to the U.S. at the age of 20.

During my first years in America, everything was a surprise. Everything needed to be deciphered and processed. It was exhilarating. In my experience, this sense of wonder can be recaptured through travel.

Between 2002 and 2010, I built many pages, here on VT. Every time I left home, I felt I was on 'special assignment' for VT, and I had a great time building the pages afterwards.

More recently, I have lost some of my interest and I am training myself to enjoy the moment (instead of editorializing it as it happens). I have no plan to build further pages. Consequently, some of the information I have gathered here is obsolete and probably unreliable.

Laos in 2000
Peru in 2003
China in 2005
Lisbon in 2006
Guatemala in 2006
Ecuador in 2007
Provence in 2008
Honduras in 2009
Venice in 2009
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana in 2010

I can be contacted on Facebook or via my external page.

Hello Oliver, thanks for your visit to my Lyon page. Great that you saw a concert in Aix with Véronique Gens and Les Talens Lyriques.

I did not know how long it would take me to go all way to Puyo, and thought that I might have to take a bus back somewhere along the way, but I arrived to Puya at 5pm. For an hour after I had left Pailón del Diablo the rain poured down and I almost gave up.

Sayaxché seems the perfect place to switch the brain off for a while. I enjoyed doing the explorer in the jungle until lost Aguateca and the colorful boats by the river. Nice!
