Nowadays most companies inform their clients about their ecological or humanitarian projects related to their visions, e.g.: ‘helping a poor community’, ‘planting trees’, etc.
This page inform about Julien’s first two journeys in Southeast Asia, before settling down in Cambodia and turning as a high-end 360° photographer.
Simply said, he arrived on this continent as a seasoned traveler, a true “badass traveler”, result of his years and years of “out of the box” experiences in other countries.
In his early years here, he was focused on long-term and adventurous trips to discover this new continent, venturing in areas the farthest away from on-growing cities. This episode represents his jump into professional photography and photojournalism.
Then and again for a few years, he chose to devote himself in organizing and leading courses for underprivileged schoolchildren, with the goal to teach how to craft children’s toys from discarded plastic waste/bags.
What is important is to pass on / convey what we have seen, to pass on / convey what we have learned, otherwise all we have done has pretty much no importance. Because there is only one thing that matters to people: knowledge.
