Across Paradise On 7 Wheels: About me

Who am I and what's the idea behind this blog?
Let's start with the funny facts and I'll finish with the boring ones.

Adventurer - Sporty (extreme sports are even better) - Eager to discover the unknown/the wild - Motivated/Determined (I never ever give up) - Dreamer - Creative - Self-learner - Hard worker

That's how I would describe myself, at least for the past 2 and half years.
Period when I left my home country (Belgium) and everything behind me to start traveling full-time around the world (and working too obviously).

Before I was more or less a crazy dreamer, stuck for the past 6 years in a 9-5 office routine in Brussels. My job was good (at least it paid the bills and my monthly city-trips around Europe), my situation was good (I had my flat, my car, my friends and so on) but something was missing...

After a long day of work I often relaxed watching Discovery Channel and being inspired by stories of Bear Grylls, gold miners in Africa, extreme truck drivers on icy road in Alaska, crews of the Sea Shepherd, etc..

So I'm now 29 years old, I traveled more than 30 countries, I manage to have conversations in 5 languages (and I'm trying to learn new ones, my mother tongue being French) and I think I became a "junior" mix of all the guys I've previously seen on Discovery Channel.

I told myself that I will settle down when I would be 30 years old but when you start traveling it's an addiction so my bucket list is still full of places to discover and sports to learn/activities to enjoy.

But the best of the best is that I finally discovered the reason why I'm here: inspire, help people and try to make this world a little bit better day after day).

By the way, my name is Arnaud (but call me Arny because apparently 95% of the people I meet can't pronounce my name correctly :)).
