From the beginning

"We all come from the sea, but we are not all of the sea. Those of us who are, we children of the tides, must return to it again and again, until the day we don't come back leaving only that which was touched along the way."
-Frosty Hesson

Last star, first light from one of Reunion Island's top

The name is Théo, the place I was born is Reunion Island. I learned to surf when I was about 4 years old: my dad put me on his board and I loved it ever since. I had the chance to go in Bali and South Africa when I was about 10, surfed there too. I've been to Indonesia, VietNam, Thaïland, Malaysia before I was 20, looking for good food, good waves and good people, met the three. I've been to California, worked there, surfed there... And then I was back to France, graduated in environmental engineering in 2017, tried to spend a couple weekends surfing of course.

And I also learned to climb. I've been climbing in Reunion Island mostly, but also in Thaïland and in the south of France. My father teached me some knots, some techniques and I learn the rest by training with some friends. I'm also into skiing in the Alps, did my share hiking a bit of everywhere, kitesurfing with the wind...

Bref, I've had a good life so far. Enjoyed a lot, been crying a little, tried to figure out some meanings and shared as much as I could. Are there any fellow Reunion Islanders on Steemit yet ?

My way of life

“Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.”
-Oscar Wilde

Now you may assume two things about me : I love quotes, and I love surfing.

loving it so much I'd forget how to breath

I do love surfing, I love the feeling when you catch the wave and instantly forget about everything. Nothing matters when surfing, the present finally makes sense. Same thing occurs when climbing.

When I'm stressed, angry, lost, or sad, I immediatly think about my life's best surf session in Lomgbok (or is it Lombok ?). I picture the ocean, the beach, the boats, and the waves I caught and I manage to feel better. That day in Desert Point, I wasn't seeking for waves but it turned out I had more than bargained for.

That day, Life taught me it has a way to give you what you need rather than what you want.

C'est la vie ! Hopefully, this is the last time I'll speak seriously about Life. I do prefer the funny way. Since I'm now done presenting myself (and I do expect some feedback), let us present what is this Newsteemer doing here !

Come for the money, Stay for the community

Obviously I heard about Steemit through Blockchain and Crypto news. In fact, I was looking for a way to finance my own World Tour featuring the best (surf)spots in the world and crypto-investments seemed to be a way to do so. As it turned out, I'm about to take a job, a small flat coming next and probably a cat (I always thought I was a dog person).

I think that's great for now, as long as I can easily leave when I feel the need to. And I have a lot of friends around me, some girls I'd love to fall for and plenty of time to find more meanings.

Ain't that some cat, and she rolls with me now

What I do want to do here is sharing. I'd like to share some good pictures, some good music, some good quotes. I'd like to help if needs be, to make one laugh. I'm not into Instagram but Steemit and blockchains have a purpose I agree with. I hope I'll find a place in this community, and I'm already liking what I see. I'll keep y'all posted if I suddenly feel the need to meet you in person.

I wish the best for Steemit, it's community and a good one from my Wave Bureau !
