Welcome to my travel blog!

What is a Blog?

It is a communication tool derived from web sites that allows for online text, photos, ideas, thoughts, etc ... But on a blog (web-log), YOU have the opportunity to respond to direct leaving a comment, thus creating a "community" around my writings or my photos, which allow us to share these ideas and thoughts, exchange blows of heart or humor, etc ... The concept intrigues me because it is easier to use a website, and as 14 million users (2006 figures) in the world, I tried the adventure in my lap. And without knowing it, you are tens of thousands to follow me every month! ...

The Story of A World Elsewhere

Tired of doing copy / paste in my e-mails to tell my family and my friends my stories of travel, I experienced the blog for not having to tell only once that I was going around world. Established in March 2005, A World Elsewhere celebrated its fourth anniversary this year with over 430 items online 1 June 2009. After long restricted access to this blog to a list extremely private in September 2006 I decided to make available as many many of my stories and a selection of my photographs. I take a risk because you post, it will reveal. And when we shared the life of someone who exposes himself, we must be very careful with the communication. But with his agreement with this blog I have acquired a new self that goes beyond traditional media relations, and I offer also the secret garden, behind the scenes rarely told in such business trips every year that take us halfway around the world in situations sometimes painful or difficult, often original.

What you read on A World Elsewhere?

I offer here my travel tales and scuba diving, the cuisines from across France, the joys, disappointments, surprises and emotions. All these impressions recorded in a notebook as and measuring mileage by car, boat or airplane, big and small. I am fortunate to travel throughout the year, and I want to show you and tell you. With my style, my pen, with my choice of images. Of course, this is 100% personal, some will find fault, but find nothing of egotism: I just want to read and see, sometimes to think. And nothing prevents philosophize about an idea or a comment! Because I trust you to enrich the content: the whole point of a blog lies in the trade that is created between the person who is online and those who respond. Without your comments, A World Elsewhere not exist!
