How about receiving a post card from North Korea? | Jean-Luc Nguyen around the world blog

How about receiving a post card from North Korea? | Jean-Luc Nguyen around the world blog

No, I don't want millions of people to ask Jean-Luc for a postcard from North Korea.
I want to raise awareness about real travel and virtual travel, as a way for all of us to communicate, somehow, with various people from around the world.


Even blogging is a way to communicate and "travel".
I  communicate, sometimes within the same day, with partners, friends and strangers from 6 continents -  I'm still working on adding Antarctica.

=============
About Jean-Luc Nguyen:


"Jean-Luc was born in France and grew up in Paris.

He studied Information Technology at EPITECH, one of the most renowned IT schools in France. He worked for several corporate atmospheres during his schooling, ranging from SOHO to international law firms, principally as a consultant or a system and network engineer. His missions involved different technical skills, such as web and software programming, database architecture and insuring network and system reliability as well as security. These experiences required a lot of reactivity, which trained him to work efficiently under pressure and against time constraints.
As soon as he graduated in 2006, at 22 years old, he created his first company in computer services: www.besoindaide.com. With the democratization of new technologies use came an increasing need for support services. By providing online remote assistance, SOHOs and individuals could access for the first time to cheap and efficient remote help instantly. The company quickly became the leader in remote assistance in France. That first entrepreneurial experience gave him a global vision of all the aspects required to develop a business. The included defining the company's strategy, marketing and sales, managing human resources and dealing with legal aspects.
After 4 years, in 2010, he felt the need to do something more inspiring. He decided to close his company and travel around the world for a while. He hoped that traveling would open his eyes as to what happens abroad and maybe inspire him to do something more fulfilling with his life. In the meantime, he became very interested in the process of movie making, and the affordability of HD-DSLR cameras made it possible to produce professional content on a small budget. To gain experience in editing techniques and storytelling, he decided to write a blog where he would share videos with interesting facts, about stories he witnessed abroad.
When he arrived in Cambodia, he fell in love with the warmth of the people and was inspired by the enthusiasm of the kids, despite their abject poverty. That's when he decided to dedicate his time to try to lift them from their plight. Currently, he is chairing several projects that aim to spread English educational opportunities to children around Cambodia."

Free entertainment, for life - CNN.com. "Bored?...Read!!!" Also, I show you a MAXIMUM CARD / MAXICARD / DORINCARD with the STATUE OF LIBERTY, NYC, NY, USA - one hand is for "torching", but the other one is for holding a... "BOOK"? [No, it's actually a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law)]. But she could have been holding a book, too, for symbolic purposes :)...

Reading books is  Free entertainment, for life - CNN.com

"The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the WorldFrenchLa Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. 
The statue, a gift to the United States from the people of France, is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. 
A broken chain lies at her feet. 
The statue has become an icon of freedom and of the United States."
Thank you again, France! :)

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
