chantal Publié 15 Mars 2010 Partager Publié 15 Mars 2010 Bonjour à tous. J'aimerais inviter Mr.René Cormier(voir lien plus bas), un aventurier en moto, à faire une soirée conférence. Avant de le faire déplacer de l'Alberta, je veux voir s'il y aurait de l'intérêt pour vous à venir à une soirée conférence. Il apporte du matériel visuel et sa moto de 5 ans de voyage ainsi que toute son expérience. Il y aurait un montant de 10$ à débourser pour les participants. Donnez-moi votre feedback!

He returned 154,000 kilometers later with Pakistani art gracing the front of his BMW and stamps from 41 countries in his passport. "And none of those small, ‘easy’ European countries, either," he jokes, pointing to his route map that includes such uncommon destinations as Yemen, Iran, Tajikistan and Mongolia. "The goal behind bringing my stories to other riders is to remind them that although there are inherent risks with any travel, we imagine them to be bigger and scarier than they actually are. I want to convince people of the overwhelming rewards of adventure travel by motorcycle." The Edmonton resident admits there were challenges during his journey. One such experience happened at an Ethiopian checkpoint where a drunken border guard, wearing only a wrap-around beach towel, insisted Cormier take a guard with him to the next town, "for safety reasons." "Drunk guards never make good travel companions," says Cormier, who proceeded to race the BMW into the safety of the desert while the towel-wrapped guard and his AK-47-wielding partner wobbled unsuccessfully after him. "They were looking for bribes," says Cormier, "and I'm too cheap for that." Cormier undertook his world journey without sponsorship -- roughing it on a skimpy budget of $25 a day. He persevered, found his future wife along the way, and he hopes his story encourages others to look rationally at the risk, and then go. As he likes to point out, "it's easier - and more fun - than you might think." Attendees 25 years or older with a valid motorcycle licence are welcome to enter the draw for an all-expenses paid guided motorcycle trip to South Africa and Namibia aboard a BMW motorcycle in October 2010. Trip sponsored by Cormier’s travel company Renedian Adventures, www.renedian.com. The University of Gravel Roads: Global Lessons From a Four-Year Motorcycle Adventure has been on the Bestseller List for both the Calgary Herald and Edmonton Journal and is available from select Chapters and independent bookstores across Canada and from www.universityofgravelroads.com. # # # April 8, 2010 Link to comment Partager sur d'autres sites More sharing options...
