André Brugiroux has 76 years, the old man yet has a few wrinkles at the corners of her laughing eyes, eyes that have seen the whole earth.
This man is indeed the only one who can boast of having seen all over the world ... An incredible story of a man desperate to wander the earth to meet its wonders.
It all began in 1955 when 17 year old Andre Brugiroux dream of escape. At that time, France gets up and rebuilt after the war, he became a man and will undertake a first small tour that will take him far more than he could imagine. Passionate about modern languages, André loop his bag and left his native Essonne to spin in the direction of Scotland as part of an internship. The experiment was so successful that he is leaving next to Germany, Italy and finally Spain. In nine years, he calls himself "formative years", he will roam across Europe: "I left with ten bullets in his pocket and sandwiches for a week. After that, we had to find odd jobs to survive. "It has not been all roses during these first trips Andre Brugiroux sometimes afraid, but obeyed an instinct that drives him to undertake these périples.130623-andre-Brugiroux-au-japan-01 (Copy)
For his passport, he must do his military service he will perform in Congo for two years. Only then he flew to Canada where he worked as a translator, saving for three years to hit the road. It was at this time that his world tour begins ... "World Tour is first round itself. Must already get to know before trying to get to know the other, "says the fighter to a reporter during a radio interview in 1976.
To go to meet others, he chooses a means of transport that brings: hitchhiking. For 6 years the fighter does not work, spending their dollars at a snail with an average of a dollar a day budget. Yes it's Andrew who has inspired Brugiroux "Beijing Express"!
"My goal was to not pay or hotel or transportation to only spend a dollar a day. I tried hitchhiking but also cargo-stop-stop the yacht and airplane-stop. "
His adventure is worthy of a scenario that would be hard to believe: He will have known headhunters of Borneo, studied yoga in India, given the traffic gems in Sri Lanka, lived with hippies in San Francisco, rubbed shoulders with Buddhist monks in Thailand have experienced the refugee camps in Cambodia ... Among many other extraordinary experiences. 3950425_11-1-199298321_545x341 (Copy)
But among his stories, the greatest modern adventurer also scoured difficulties. He found himself jailed 7 times: "They took me to a revolutionary in Costa Rica, a spy for Israel in Syria and a hijacker in Colombia. At that time, we did not travel as easily today. "For him, his best weapon remained good humor, which allowed him not to give in to fear and go on his way with the sole purpose of learning.
Itself is defined as a student and not a traveler, it's curiosity and love of the people he can not stop from today. Because after learning several languages, traveled 400,000 kilometers stop and saw the 193 countries of the UN, André Brugiroux does not stop there and continues to explore areas such as Polynesia, administered to France but has a own identity.
In total, 235 countries and territories it has visited in 50 years.
André Brugiroux published several books, including "The man who wanted to see every country in the world" that writing urge you to go around the world from home.
