Clic the Planet to see my trip!
Next stage : SPAIN - March 2008

Magic is impatient to set off again, it is now decided : we leave again on june, the 10th! It will be ready, so I will. We are A nous les grands espaces, le vent, le soleil, la pluie, sans savoir le matin où nous serons le soir. We are going to ride on this planet without a sound, proud of our wanderer's way of life.
