Jumping around Oslo

During these two years: dozens of countries, hundreds of jumps from France to Canada, from Andalucia to Russia, from Ireland to China.

As i'm writing this (Feb 2011), I'm currently in Mauritius Island. That will be the first jumping pic from the southern hemisphere! And what about in two years from now ? I guess many more jumps, travels and backpacking indeed !

There are so many places yet to discover, so many people to meet, so many languages to discover and food to try. It would be a pity of stopping now, wouldn't it ?

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011... and JUMP ! :-)

My client was there also and my mauritian colleagues took us out with their families on a Saturday for a road trip in the southern part of the Island. I couldn't resist but introduce them to the Jumping Tradition ! :-)

Crazy mauritian jumping

Jumping in Deer Island (L'ile aux Cerf)

Mauritius at this time of the year is awesome. Everage temperature is 28°C (sea water at 26°C), paradise island with many colorful animals, cheerful people, tropical fruits and white sand beaches. As one would say: what else ?

I must admit my total lack of culture and confess that I didn't even know about the name of this city before booking the tickets. After some little digging, you'll learn that Cluj-Napoca it located in Transylvania, famous for Dracula and other dark stories. Maybe this is why they have the strongest Garlic sauce I ever tasted ?

The city in itself is quiet during the day but become very lively at night as this is mostly a student city. Compared to the rainy & grey weather in Paris at the same time, it was a real relief to be spending a weekend in a sunny place like this.

Wind Jumping in Ljubljana

First time in Ljubljana (and in Slovenia in general). We climbed the castle and its Tower to get a view of the city and surroundings. Ideal place for a basic jumping picture. That was without taking the wind into consideration. The result ? A perfect haircut while jumping :-)

I really enjoyed Slovenia. It is a little country (2 M. inhabitants) with a great variety of landscapes from the big Alp mountains to the adreatic sea beaches. Food also reflects this duality with strong and heavy traditional dishes perfects for cold Winters but cooked with "latin" influences (tomatoes, pesto, olive oil). Yummy yummy !

Main language is indeed Slovenian (which is a slave language, hence quite complex) but Italian is also widely spoken.

Kawai Jumping

I really did have to think a while before deciding to post this picture. I didn't intend to look so Kawai / Kikoolol / Kute / [insert other girly adjectives starting with K here>...

But what the heck, surroundings, new Spring season and sunny weather might have gotten into my mood and ended up with this pose :-)

I tried to recover some charisma with another jump...

Nightclub Bouncer jumping

... but failed again.

Jumping in Piran

After the Alp Mountains, the sunny sides of the Adriactic !

Slovenia has a really little front to the sea. It is squeezed in between Italy and Croatia coasts. Piran reminded me of the little village of my own Côte d'Azur in southern France. The people around seem to be fluent in both Slovenian and Italian, much more than in the rest of the country.

Easter Jumping

This year again, Easter long weekend was the perfect occasion for a family gathering in southern France. A tough weekend indeed, spending most of the time eating and enjoying the great weather of Provence !

After all that food eating contest, a little jump was more than necessary :-)

Team jumping in Frankfurt

This year again the had the incredible opportunity to have all people from my team spread over Europe to gather for a few days in a Training Event. Around 80 people from 15 different countries come to Frankfurt and I couldn't miss the chance to make some of them to jump while we were visiting the city after a long day of training and presentations.

Jumping on Praça do Comércio

Portugal had been missing on my list for way too long. Hence I was very much looking forward to spending 4 days in Lisbon. And it was truly wonderful!

Lisbon is a gorgeous city. It spreads on 7 hills and overlooks the Tage River and the Atlantic. The weather was just perfect, so was the food and the general relaxed-mood. And, what's more, we realized that we arrived just for the Festas de Lisboa, also know as the weekend-long sardin BBQ party.

Jumping in Sintra Pena National Palance

Sintra is a little village outside Lisbon, facing the Atlantic, and now part of UNESCO World Heritage. At the top of the hill, lies the Pena National Palace. This 19th century palace, offering outstanding views of the surroundings, is what could be a palace out from a Disney movie with many colors, towers and mix between different styles across centuries (from middle age castles, to renaissance palaces and Moorish architecture).
