We asked a few questions about the trip to Yann from the blog Night climb !
Night Scale is filled with chronicles from a passionate traveler who has had the opportunity to journey through many countries. Yann expresses himself above all through his photographs, which are a magnificent way to communicate with his readers. He shares his adventures and memories with us here!
Night stop
JR : For you, traveling is synonymous with...?
It's synonymous with living. I often say that you have to make the most of life so that death has nothing to take from you.
JR : What is the first item you put in your suitcase? Why?
The first thing I pack is my camera!
JR : When you travel in dreams, where do you go?
I often go to the Southern Hemisphere. In Polynesia or sailing between the Marquesas Islands. In reality, I try to prioritize trips in France and Europe. This is what allows me to combine my work in Paris with my love for travel.
Night stop
JR : Your worst travel memory?
My worst memory is of an overnight trip in Bolivia where the bus broke down in the middle of the mountains. We were then left in total darkness. And it was I who got out to warn oncoming vehicles to slow down with my phone's flashlight.
JR : A perfume that invites you to escape?
The scent of jasmine is, for me, the most evocative smell of travel. It reminds me of summer evenings in Tunisia, but also of India...
JR : What is your next destination?
My next trip will be a sailing cruise in the Adriatic Sea. I hope to succeed in taking beautiful photos and capturing unusual and intriguing situations. And why not be a little more experimental in my photographic style? All of this takes time, but I'm trying not to give in to the easy way too much.
Night stop
JR : What is your favorite hotel? For what reasons?
My favorite hotel is the Saint-James in Paris. I've never stayed there, it's a 4-star hotel, but a friend who will recognize themselves showed me this place where I stop by for coffee from time to time. This private mansion is actually an old hot air balloon runway.
JR : What do you do to pass the time on a plane?
To pass the time, I look out the porthole and daydream. I sometimes write articles, which are often the best I can write since there's nothing to distract me.
Night stop
JR : You feel at home when you are...?
I feel at home when I'm at the table with friends. Or when I'm comfortably settled in a bed, even for just one night.
Thank you Yann for answering our questions! We're following his adventures on the Overnight layover site and on its Facebook page !
