It's great, I finally broke my egg with my Ulule! I reached $ 5,000!

What experience it was to do my project on Ulule! Thank you all for being a part of my adventure and to be my companion on my amazing epic! I hope to make you live the adventure from my rowing seat directly form the ocean and I hope to make you live the emotions with each reading!

Thank you all, I will try to correspond with you very personally, do not hesitate to contact me during the voyage or during the preparations.

Many thanks especially to my friend Francois Vincent!

Let me explain where it all began ... Last August, I visited my Peta in southern England. At the same time, my friend Francois sent me a message for me to let me know about this new website called Ulule which promotes various projects and by which we could also fund our own. Initially, I set aside this project cause at first it appeared to me a little complicated. But with a project funded about a guy who wanted to shave, I told myself I could do a project just a little more attractive! Ha ha!

Being unable to leave London for a few days because I was patiently waiting for a seat to become available to cross the Atlantic by plane, I started my project form the airport. Installed in my mobile office at Heathrow, on my trolley luggage, I worked on my files and I finally took the time to think about this nasty little owl exchanging emails with Cedric from Ulule in Paris. On the plane, above the Atlantic, so I thought about interesting counterparties and arriving in Montreal my project could finally be launched.

Cedric at Ulule was my first supporter! Cedric thank you for having responded to my many emails and questions! To know this famous Cedric, you just have to set up a project you too! ;)
I am therefore very pleased for having now 105 supporters in the boat with me!
In May, I’ll be adding the names of my supporters on my boat. I'll also take a picture of my work and send them to everyone.

I am very happy with my adventure on Ulule! I should very soon keep you informed through another blog. I will try to always update my blog and send you the details by mail.

Thank you very much
