Travel writing: my book
The whole trip to Qatar and New Zealand was an experiment. I just left, since I felt that it was time to go. My itinerary ? Built through intuition, opportunities, people I met on the way. Ended up living as close to nature as I never had before. And discovering one of the most enriching ways of traveling. Of living.
Nature is full of lessons.
Desertic spaces, empty roads, fishermen and a sunburn at 8 a.m. in Qatar. Curing a goat skin, planting native trees, observing birds and spiders' eyes at night in Aotearoa New Zealand.
I was on the road for six months. Every day was a new and unexpected adventure. Through the people I met, I was lucky to experience many different ways of living in a same country. Through the millions of questions I had, I could learn more than I would have expected, about native plants and animals of New Zealand, conservation practices, biodynamic agriculture, animal behaviour, hunting and living partly off the grid.
By telling these life experiences in an emotional way, I aim to make the readers think about their own ways of living, traveling, consuming, interacting with the unknown and discovering various environments.
Themes: regenerative travel - personal empowerment - sensitivity - human-nature relationships
Tell me your story and I'll write it
Ordinary people have so many inspiring stories to tell and thoughts to transmit.
Many of them are not even aware of it. While others know that they have something to share, but they don't know how to do it. Then, there are those who think that what they have to tell is not worth anything. But to me, their stories mean the world.
Through this project I aim to give a voice to the unheard and sometimes unseen ones. Transmitting life stories, thoughts, observations and wisdom nobody would ever hear about, if they weren't collected and turned into stories.
At the moment I am co-working on a book about local history (East Cape, Aotearoa New Zealand).
Themes: oral history, public history
