Bastien Desonneville
My name is Bastien and I am 33 years old. I'm an active and outdoor activities person, that's why I'm part of different sports clubs doing activities like soccer, tennis and kick boxing. I need to be passionate about what I do on a daily basis and that's why I really enjoy organizing, talking and creating trips for myself and others. I am always looking for the best places and activities with local suppliers, it makes me feel like an adventurer and that i'm looking for the rare pearl :)
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I work on creating wonderful trips in my beloved country France but also in other countries of Western Europe (such as the Netherlands, UK, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy etc.). My passion is proposing unique food and wine experiences."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I was born and raised in Paris "the city of love" but i moved to different part of France when i was a teenager (North of France, South west and South East), it helps me to discover new places and develop my passion for travelling, meet new people and learn about them. After my business school and a six month internship in India, i decided to continue my adventure and drop my luggage in Asia. After few years working abroad with DMC's, organizing tailor made trips around South East Asia i realized that my country has so much to offer and that i wanted to take my part to help people around the world to learn about it. Thats why, now i create the best itinerary that fit my clients desires and needs. "
