ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Remi Gourmel
My name is Remi, I am a French traveler in progress: 35 countries and still counting.
I have been travelling for more than 10 years and lived the expat life in several countries around the world: Colombia, the US, Sweden and more recently Prague where I stayed for 5 years. I am now living in Paris.
Some of my favorite trips include: Mexico, Georgia, Albania, Turkey, Romania and Bosnia.
I strongly believe that you live a trip three times: 1. when you plan and dream it 2. when you finally go through it and make your own experiences, and 3. afterwards, when you cannot stop thinking about it.
I love spending hours planning my trips weeks and months in advance, reading about things to do, comparing reviews and reading blogs.
My main goal publishing guides and maps on Thatch is to help my fellow travelers plan their trips with the best insider and curated tips, without spending hours doing research.
Do not hesitate to look at my destinations and suggest guides that would be useful for your future trips.
You can also reach out to me on Instagram (@remgou) for any questions.
