SPEAKER_00: 0:05

Hello hello! Je suis votre hôte, Loïc, ancien sportif de haut niveau en judo, coach, préparateur mental and amoureux of activities outdoors in touch. My conviction is that we have all a petite étincelle of folie and audace, an version until frappée of us, a potential exceptionnel who somme enough. I've created this podcast for discouragement and homes who have osé me réveiller. My invitation are athletes of two niveau, professional, voyage on courses, entrepreneurs or militaires, and forces special. Attention, an écoute regular can entraîne des changements positives, irrevocables in vos vies. Perfect. Bienvenue, bon retour, Emily on micro de frapper. Thank you, Henry. Super content to me. I did just after we commence after our first enregistrement. It was in September 2021 that I differed your episode at the episode where you were talking of other things of your life, of your activities of guide, your support at bikepacking, backpacking, and bike packing, because you've been traveling at this moment the Africa for six months and 15 kilometers. And it has passed. But after comment, if you don't have the episode, the link is in the description, but that is the I think I did because we were regularly after this episode. But when I present the podcast, I'll say the moment we have this registration. In fact, I systematically talk about my episode. When people explain what it is to do, I think I interview them who have a little, there are ancient military, professional. And systematically traveling Africa at the vessel in solitary. And I think the people had the reflection the time that I put systematically your example to explain what are the frappers that I interview. So now you say. After this long intro, Emily, what I'll propose is to re explain in the grand links for those and those who are the podcast in three years what you do already, your activity professional or tons of activities professional.

SPEAKER_03: 3:07

I accompany their groups for the day of their circuits in Africa of the West, principally Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.

SPEAKER_00: 3:30

So if you have tips on the big safari to work, they're the person to which you demand.

SPEAKER_03: 3:49

No, no, not too. I could just do a consequences from an amateur, but I need a voice. I guide and I am salarial of an agency of watch that organizes for me.

SPEAKER_00: 4:02

Okay, okay, okay. Super. Excellent. My support ones and velo, I would say if I got this episode of 2021, which was a little bit of an hour. It was very marked, that's the reason for the whole I mentioned your experience of life as being a little reference of the type of invitation that I cherry for. But in real support at the adventure, bike packing and backpacking in general, if you synthetic, for those who have eaten, you explain how.

SPEAKER_03: 5:00

And combining a mode of voyage long, in fact, which I think.

SPEAKER_00: 6:01

Excellent, excellent. And what's what motives the switch with a little bit of defenses, punchy physically?

SPEAKER_03: 6:09

In fact, I think it's the day in the time I have 45 years. And it's like I've had my 40 years, I said the most, in fact, is to enter my life and be more physically, I don't know if you have reason, but to reveal a bit of resistance physical, to also permitting to live adventures a bit difficult, sit down in a points more record, like what I did in Africa of the West. It was physically difficult, but then I refer a little bit more records, there are climate challenge, a little bit difficult, pistol in both easy, etc. This will permit to go into a pin. And that is really my curiosity, to sit in a few, also in Africa, these are more people, in fact. So I think if you are resistant physically, I can go too long, in a round a little bit more authentic and also, not for me, but there are lots of kilometers in less, in fact.

SPEAKER_00: 7:28

It's interesting what you partake on your report on physics, to the form physics a few years. So I'm gonna say an invitation. I'll say if you're the podcast or the music when you travel Africa of the West or Africa of the West, or I have an invitation who appeared Christine Tayeb, who is a retreat who, at the moment of the enregists, had 60 of 70 years. And he explained that she had been missing at work at 60 years, and for her 70th anniversary, she had offered the Marathon desables.

SPEAKER_03: 8:10

It's more muscle, exactly.

SPEAKER_00: 8:12

So it is finished of the Marathon. It has terminated, it's the first time I had terminated, but at 70 years, it has been the marathon. And it was interesting because it said just her to the sport, the physics, the notion of performance versus the longevity. So it's much at this point that I told me ultra interesting. Okay, so an evolution with an experience a little bit engaged. Alright, I've proposed to refer an episode because in couple days. I imagine that it was a period of the period of Safari, but I've had a great travers. If I tell you, it was Africa of the West, Velo, that's it. It's Africa of the West.

SPEAKER_03: 9:04

We're that. After the Africa of the West that we comment in 2021. I danced the traversing of Africa of the West.

SPEAKER_00: 9:15

Wow. At the moment, when you said the traversed Africa of the West, I said in particular you said of Sudan, where you have conditions of météo abominable, they had 10 kilometers, so it had really ultra engaged. Africa of the West, the early trip on the which you were dancing, it was quite the parkour. What I've had initially?

SPEAKER_03: 9:45

I'm getting a little at the decouverte and also let the impression my voyage sort of fixed. But the buttons of Africa of the West. I was arrived this day just at Abidjan, in Côte d'Ivoire. And in real time I traversed, I'm part of Savoy from me, and I was arrived in traversing the Maroc.

SPEAKER_00: 10:23

They are at Savoy at Velo or something.

SPEAKER_03: 10:25

I've been at Savoy to Velo, we have to do it. I've really enjoyed too much in Africa. So I've got the bateau of Barcelona at Tanger.

SPEAKER_00: 10:46

And also question you traverses the Maroc. I have a card through the eyes, I'm dying for those who are, but if you are not so familiar, the coin north west of Africa. So it is really frontier south of Morocco, and on the Mauritania.

SPEAKER_03: 11:21

In fact, wait, the Sahara occidental. It's a bit complicated on the political. It's a territory that is occupied by the Marocans, in fact. In fact, they are a pay that is not recognized. The Sahara Occidental is a pay that is not recognition on international. And the side of Maroc, when you see the front effectively in pointilling on the cart, all this territory is occupied by the Maroc, in fact. So entre the Maroc and the Mauritania, a village that's Gergirat, we passed the front between the Maroc and the Mauritania. And that is an island where there are military all the kilometers who survey two feet and gestures. To remark my paper, because it's an island that is really very surveyed at the military. Effectively, the Sahara Occidental are always Algerians, and now they are in the camp of the people in a village that's Tindouf in Algeria.

SPEAKER_00: 12:42

Okay, but you have to enter in the Sahara Occidental and possible in Mauritania, that's it?

SPEAKER_03: 12:51

But we enter not really Sahara occidental. It's a region, we're a region that is in conflict in fact. After it's not the zone really front between the Moroccan and the Mauritania at this name.

SPEAKER_00: 13:35

Okay. But in this point, with your veto, I imagine that you don't have a little bit in the paint, we demand what you fabric. There's a route that releases in manner discontinual continuous and the Mauritania, or you can use a piece of 4-4, you can get a little bit for extra.

SPEAKER_03: 13:57

It's a route that is goudron.

SPEAKER_00: 13:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 13:59

In fact, it's the route principle that releases the Morocco. There are camions with their marchandises, etc. That are the trajet even at Dakar. So it's a route goudron. It's sure that it is very bad just to build Darla, which is a very Sahara occidental, occupied by the Marocans. And the route is a little in more bad, I would say, but also goudronic. But we are a little bit of the desert. It's really zone desertic, not a lot of gills, not a lot of people, not a lot of restaurants, etc. So it's really the traversing desert.

SPEAKER_00: 15:02

That's exactly what I said. But in real time, when we design the Africa of the West, very clearly the right of the Mauritania, the image of satellite are desert, desert. And so we sit in zones of Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, where there are. On the terrain, it's really a cassette, I would say when you go to Mauritania, where you go in a water where there are vegetation, where there are possible.

SPEAKER_03: 15:36

Yeah, we already know the contrast is very interesting when we arrive in Senegal. The north of Senegal is arid, it's not really the forest tropical in the north of Senegal, but we have a great changement with the vegetation, the arms, a little bit of me effectively in Mauritania. But it's like I have a penchant for the zones desertic. And this travel of Sahara by the Mauritania has been very interesting. I think a bit of present in Mauritania, because just I'm like the zones desert, we are all in the middle of the desert, two person, with little beds performance. For me, it's extraordinary. And if I do it, I refer.

SPEAKER_00: 16:35

Because I don't know that the voyage in solo it's an act for the destinations where we can evidently, it's not so much the same. When we visit New York or the Mauritania, it's not so much the same. But the voice at solo in the road, long in the time, in a coin. You said I'm not sure that there are tourists who use to travel the Sahara Occidental from Maroc to Seneca via the Mauritania. What's what the reaction of people? The gendarmes who are in 4-4, the people who create the Bedouin, when they complain that they're a fan too, who does that for pleasure to travel a desert of?

SPEAKER_03: 17:25

I think you're not where you're a vélo, a blanche of where you make your life in suffering, where you do that. What to pay for that? What pleasure you try to do that? It's an incomprehensible total. And animal, who is your marriage? Where are those people? If you explain that I'm not married and I have to, almost it's more an incomprehensible. And in Mauritanie, I wanted to say that she was transparent, I think. It was an incomprehensible total. It was really a report a little complicated to explain, I think, because the people it's not a change that is conceivable for them to get the traversing of Africa with Velo. There's no necessity, almost enough, almost curiosity, and a fan does away from her family, with their friends.

SPEAKER_00: 18:34

And there's interactions with the fans, just in these people when you traverse or culturally.

SPEAKER_03: 18:42

I cherry the interaction with the fans. After there's the barrier with the language. The fans, also in these people, have a little more at the life, have a bit more apprentice of France or another language. So there are barriers as important to the language. But it's like the fans are also in comprehension, that's true.

SPEAKER_00: 19:11

I imagine that it does determine the pain, but it's incredible. Because in your manner of vélo, you said that you know where you sit, there are points a little clean, etc. But as I like, you need a little place to the project. You want to forget, a maximum to be autonomous, independent, or you want also to people that you want to potentially hurt, a report, etc.

SPEAKER_03: 19:44

I think I want to live the autonomy complete. Okay. 100%. Okay. If I debris too, repar my vélo, the light. After we depend on the population location in cash of urgence. We are obliged to put it from a village, etc. After the vélo, the people are very accepting and very hospitalized. The hospitality is offered at that time in nymph what people and what it is.

SPEAKER_00: 20:34

That's what I have to say. That was my question. Is that the people to turn the eye and after a couple, you know, a year passing, but what you do, or maybe not for certain people say that they have to make a shot a year. That is my question. Is that there's a change or is that the same thing?

SPEAKER_03: 21:06

I am the people deserted because I am young and I am the solitude. But I refer also the contact with the people, the discussions, etc. And it's like it was a bit facilitating at the moment that I descended, because in Senegal, at the Senegal, people a bit franc or anger, and the change is a bit facilitated for these things. And niveau cultural also comprend a bit less enough to adventure with certain people, effectively.

SPEAKER_00: 21:44

About to pass on the questions pretty technical, and I don't know the questions clichés who have clicks, etc. But I think that it's kind of I don't know if you have, but I've got an episode for two globally. And I think that the question for many of them who have watched like to solitary, in a point a little more touristically, I think the question of the security will be too much. Is that it's not so the insecurity when you stay so in like fancy?

SPEAKER_03: 22:48

The insecurity, of course, we like fancy, it poses all the time. But in my life, I appreciate to live with them. And it develops a certain sense common to make confiance to certain people and certain people not. We appreciate to not dorm with an army sole, for example, to not demand hospitality, if it's an old, for example. Alors okay, it's a cliché. But I observe that if you demand hospitality, that will be in a family where there are families, their friends. And effectively, when I refer a campaign in the night, it's like in the forest or in the desert, you cherry an end which is loaded in zone habitat, or maybe just one of an ammo where I can be sure that person will work. Because that would be people who have made it, or who there are many of them also, etc. And not be conscientious of what they want, etc. But then I wanted to say that it will be.

SPEAKER_00: 24:52

Absolutely. Alright, it's very difficult to say for me who are a fan and feel 1,911. But I think that's it's super interesting that you partake this message. For one of the things different when you're a fan, we have tendency to not authorization or say that it's to make a framework.

SPEAKER_03: 25:23

Okay, that's true.

SPEAKER_00: 25:29

But if you have a situation a bit uncomfortable, borderline, insecurity, where you're tired and appreciated with the manner that you have?

SPEAKER_03: 25:39

Alright, okay, okay, okay. But it's me that it should be vigilant, in fact. But it can arrive not all. In fact, not to block that it can arrive because we have still in a row, it can really arrive.

SPEAKER_00: 26:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 27:08

So I can put basically nothing. Or evidently I've not really enjoyed a flood of eight or residual, so we're not fearing attention. But there's material to filter a big filter at home. Because effectively in Soudan, I've already been mad with problems of it that were directly the needle, of the river that was contaminated at certain points. And I had to filter the and we made some things where we put the frequent, but I charge on my vessel. I have to be charge of 10 or 15 litres of the time we have a big village where there's a pub, in fact. A plug or a station of service where you can recharge the light, etc. Not for the bouteille, but a pups where people let it. After I charge on my vessel, I have a reserve of nourish on my veto. For autonomous and not many of the base. No, no, it's not a nourriture of base. After it's right that the way that at Senegal we have fruits and legumes. So it's good. But it's right in Mauritania it was a little bit complicated, so it was the Ramadan when I was here the day. And by the period of Ramadan, it's more because we have the magazines are fairly, you can reapprovisionate the night or the night when they change, and it's a little bit complicated on the logistic. April, if it was not in the zone desertic, it was very sharp also in Guinea-Bissau, in the north of the Guinea also. It was a temperature of 40 degrees all the years.

SPEAKER_00: 30:45

Effectively, there's quite a lot.

SPEAKER_03: 30:53

April we habit, and then there's more than what we imagine. Only the car. It's really an oasis in the desert. And it's really impressive. So it's very surprising. But there's a bit of a desert also.

SPEAKER_00: 32:00

Typically, how do you understand? You had info again, and the children were gone that said Fucking Tungad, is that?

SPEAKER_03: 32:07

Yeah, yeah, but now it's the internet now. My voyage was that paper and the cart that we rolled. Like really two ways, I'd like to say, there are a lot of things that have been explored. It's not an exploration and reach. And after I demand the gentleman, in fact, the locals, where I can live, is there an oasis paso long, is there a village, and the locals they have to ensech, in fact. But for me, when you're the road, it is magnificent. So we enseign also with the people, in fact. So I think that it's important to not reveal, not to planify, and to also with the local, and each for the ends where there's a lot, it's anything where there are cultures, etc. We can also resource, etc. So it's like in talking to the people, for sure they do consequence.

SPEAKER_00: 33:46

You want what phone if you want in the first part of the desertic?

SPEAKER_03: 33:53

Alright, phone, no, phone sauvage, no, it's not. No, no, no. No, no. There's not much on descendants. There are parks that have been rehabilitated in certain people like the Senegal, etc. There's nothing to do with what you could do in Africa of the West. Because there are many people who have been in war and who have not had the phone saw a priority, because it was the day of tourism in Kenya, for example, they have to preserve the phone because they have that it would have been tourism. But in Africa of the West there were conflict and not much of conscience of conservation. Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 34:54

Okay. So Mauritany. It's married because it's not really attired the pays desertic. But then to play and have the card through the eyes, I'm saying, it's incredible, but where is this route? Okay, okay. But what's the three measures?

SPEAKER_03: 35:13

We're okay.

SPEAKER_00: 35:16

It's rigorous. So Mauritanie, Maroc, Sahara Occidental, Mauritania, it has a time for this, and if you have the shapes, what kilometers it represents for a little bit?

SPEAKER_03: 35:27

Alright, it presents 900 kilometers a little bit just in Côte d'Ivoire. So a little bit 5000 kilometers just in Mauritania. I passed in light. I had a detour also in the Atlas in Maroc. I decided to pass the Atlas and not pass by the code. The code has been very difficult. So I decided to get a pet in the Atlas. The Maroc at Velo is also very jolly. And we are low of touristic. The Maroc is a place extremely touristic, but extremely safety also when you decide to align a little bit of village and it represents almost 4500 kilometers just in the south of the Mauritania. In Mauritania, I decided to put the train at the interior, and after a big details in certain villages or ISIS, and rejoin the code by the route of the interior. So effectively it's a 4500 kilometers, and after 400 or 4500 kilometers just at the Côte d'Ivoire.

SPEAKER_00: 37:00

Okay, and you said that I've been at Abidjan, is that? And I've had that in what?

SPEAKER_03: 37:08

Alright, a total, from France to Côte d'Ivoire, it's a six months and week.

SPEAKER_01: 37:17

Wow. Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 37:22

I've had a lot of detour, I've had some pistol, I've not really watched the route in light, in Guinea-Bissau. I've decided to go in an archipel that is magnificent, the Bijagos, an archipelag that is extraordinary with plague safety, etc. So there are a bit perfect. And after Liberia, I've decided to sit in the jungle. There are no batteries, but passing by the rock. So it can fit tranquillo in a little bit more. So it's my voyage and I adapt a very function that I am. But it's right that if you have enough to travel a little bit more rapidly or a little bit more detail, it can work in a little bit more. And a lot more kilometers also.

SPEAKER_00: 38:42

I don't know if you have 10 kilos of bowls, with their etc. Then traversed the Sierra Leone also, the Sierra Leone.

SPEAKER_03: 39:00

It's a country that person, that people know, not a lot of tourism, because it went to sort of a guy civil very terrible in the days 90 just in the days 2000. So it's really the tourism is very recent in Sierra Leone. But for me, there's a great potential at the pays, forest, plague, and the people are adorable. The people are accounting, bienveillant. It's a gentle incredible. The people are agreeable and gentle and bien, really. It was a great coup de cœur. I'm sorry in my shop, already that person had. And I began to make my tent. And I would say that I didn't dorm there, because I said that if he went after the night he will make sure or me should be. And he is the night for me to leave, to make a marriage, and he made for me to join his family because he won't come to her in the middle of the boat. And we are in. He was presented at all his family, to all the village. It's an experience extraordinary.

SPEAKER_00: 40:35

Incredible.

SPEAKER_03: 40:37

And at Sierra Leone, I decided to put an earliest route of the train that the Anglais had constructed. And it's a very single track. It's a big chapter that traverses a village obligated. But because the train passed, now the village are a little bit abandoned, I would say. And passed by the bar in vélo. It was just extraordinary.

SPEAKER_00: 41:11

Mechanically, you have a galera via the conditions a little bit on the bottom.

SPEAKER_03: 41:16

Just in the blue, it was in Sierra Leone. It was in Liberia. I didn't really show the period ideal. It was the season of plui, so the chapter that had been goudron and in the water, it went and descended, and there was a blue, there was a flak of permanent. I mean if it was shed at a period of the day, and I think there is a blue in permanence while the climate is humid and tropical. And effectively with a ton of bow, it was impossible that my vélo not cassette. And effectively one piece of my dryer that was torded. And then I was party for a traversée between one and another, there was one. It was not for distance, but in these conditions, we could not really advance in many optimization. So effectively I was not a year. I was 50, 40 or 50 kilometers when the pistol was in water and plenty of blue. And this part of my dry was completely, and my déraillé at that time. So I marched the proper village. I've had to be in an hour with a little bit of each, and get also the hospitality of people to be careful and repair my veto. And I've got an astuce with a boat of chamber to air and nourished and a boat of chamber, and I could reparate my vessel and the lunch. I think that it functioned. And it functioned for 800 kilometers. I did 800 kilometers, and after the repair of the vessel, he said, Oh, we're done, we have it. The reparator was a little bit surprised. He thought about my invention, but it functioned. Alright, I'm a piano mechanic of vélo. I appreciate it. It's difficult for me, it's the part where I pick the most. But when we have the short, we invent a trick. A vélo a courrois? No, not the way.

SPEAKER_00: 44:14

Alright I don't know because I see. I think it's cycling about or I'll see. And it's an American, he is principally the American world, the American North, the American central. And he has a velo. It's a great morse, like a motor, because it's in plastic. And all the system of passage of vitamin is in a hermetic.

SPEAKER_03: 44:55

Ah okay, dude.

SPEAKER_00: 44:56

So there's the boat of the poussible, the cell, the neighbor, you're full because it is perfectly protected in the point of view of passage of vitamin. You pass the vitess at the ray, because the system is.

SPEAKER_03: 47:43

I don't know. No, no, no, I'm not adapted to the future, in fact. And on voyage of vélo, we dore facilitating the night because we are fatigued, the Africa is really changing an hour to another, for not generalism. L'Africa is not a country, it's a lot of cultures different, etc. But I'm at these adventures, and I've really made to adapt, in fact.

unknown: 48:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 48:31

I don't know if you have party.

SPEAKER_03: 48:53

Après, it's right with my life in Africa, it's like I respect him in a mode of life as atypic, I would say. And after it's like if I was earned to travel or visit with them, it's like I'm solitary in my mode of life also, even if I have a lot of people. But after okay, but I'm in this world, so I don't know. It's also the manner that I've been educated, etc. I've been educated not even in Africa, in a year deserted where we have a lot. And it's like I also had also pleasure to be in my life with my among, etc. And after it's like I've had a mode of life as solitary all the time, because it's like a nice professional or a nice personal.

SPEAKER_00: 49:58

I don't know if you have a lot of podcasts or articles or if you continue to alienate your internet, but is that the impression that you arrive at retranscribe what you've heard, what you emotionally, the reports that you have, etc. Is that the sentiment that you arrive at the which you pass or it's complicated?

SPEAKER_03: 50:19

No, not so much. It's complicated. No, no, no, no, I don't know. There's many people who say you don't read a live on your adventures. No, because I'm not bad in the screen, in fact. And it's telling me difficult, I think, because I have a ressenti, it's totally difficult to transmettre that. About the mentality of European. And transcribe all that you know low, it's complicated. It's complicated for me. It was of all the time. And I was passing from the south of the Namibia in Africa. And this time I would find Winduck in Namibia, and passion to. So pass at the Congo, Congo Razaville. It's a people, touristic, but with their richness naturally extraordinary. And Angola also. Alors, quand, I don't know. I'm not sure how to do it that will dépend of my activity professional. But okay, after that would be in other étapes. But after the étapes, for why not? And to go on attack, it's also pasteful because I permit to not fatigue a niveau mental. And look at it, it's not.

SPEAKER_00: 53:56

Excellent. So what you did if you have the apprentice, the apprentice of that recent of the traversing of Africa de l'Ouest, what you've used for the year or the prochain?

SPEAKER_03: 54:11

The force physique. The force physics. The connaissance of adapter or circumstances of terrain for repousser encore plus the limits and more plus reculation. And to be forced physically, we are forecast mentally also.

SPEAKER_00: 55:05

Wow.

SPEAKER_03: 55:35

In general. After the vélo, it's an example, but in the life, if you have an enemy, a rêve, it's rêver en grand.

SPEAKER_00: 56:19

I know you partake with much humility and message that are ultra fun and frankly super inspiring. If you have people who will support or change with you, the point is Instagram too.

SPEAKER_03: 56:52

I'm not connected all the time, 100%.

SPEAKER_00: 57:08

There are also a lot of photos of Safari, I think. The photos of Zag.

SPEAKER_03: 57:14

It's very varied.

SPEAKER_00: 57:17

Super, merci Emily. I'll suit all the more for the suit of exploration and those adventures, and why we don't have an episode three or four for the project of this travel of Africa West.
