Je suis un geek néo-nomade. Si vous vous imaginez un boutonneux à lunettes sur un chameau cybernétique, vous n'y êtes pas du tout. Mais kudos pour votre imagination. Je traverse les contrées de cette petite planète le pouce en l'air et un ordinateur en poche. Quand on aura colonisé Mars, j'irais y faire du stop et y écrire des romans. Je m'arrête de temps en temps. Vous me trouverez alors vissé dans un ordinateur, en train d'écrire mon prochain roman, de bénévoler pour une alternative quelconque ou d'organiser la révolution. J'ai beaucoup d'imagination. C'est ma force et mon calvaire. Parce que d'un coté ça me permet d'écrire de bonnes histoires. Mais de l'autre, j'ai l'impression de vivre dans le passé. Le futur m'intéresse au plus haut point et j'ai hâte qu'on y soit. En attendant, je ronge mon frein.

Foreword from a father

Picture of Weirdo, looking like the weirdo he is.

I never really believed that my life of adventures would end with the birth of Petit Bibi, my first child. But I did assume that it would stay on hold for a couple of years. I definitely saw myself traveling the world with an eight-years-old on my shoulders, but not with a babe in arms. However, soon after Petit Bibi was born, not only did I find out that traveling with an infant is feasible, but also that it is not much harder than traveling childless. This short book, written by Petit Bibi himself, explains how me and my partner did it.

My first adventure

I remember it like it was yesterday. On the fourth day of my life, I was taken outside of the hospital for the firstest time ever, and off we went hiking to a waterfall.

That’s right. Halfway down the thirty minutes drive from the hospital to my parents’ home, there’s this really cool waterfall that’s at the end of a relatively short footpath. My mom was feeling all cranky from the several days of hospital stay and she felt like swimming under a waterfall would make her feel better. My dad is a sucker for waterfalls, and a bit of a weirdo. Anyone with more than two neurons would have told her that it was unreasonable, or that she was too weak, or that I was too young to go hiking. But he said: Hell yeah! and drove off the highway and up the little countryside road. They carefully walked the twenty minutes hike from the parking lot to the lake. I was in the weirdo’s arms while the cranky one was slowly negotiating the steep path leading down to it. She’d just lost thirteen kilos overnight, that’s gotta throw your balance right out the window. They eventually made it to the lake. The waterfall
