Like it's often we see nature like something that is external and we go there to visit and to take pictures and say wow that's wonderful and then we go back to our safe place that it's like cities and urbanizations and probably what they teach us it was just to feel calm there, to feel comfortable because at the end it's just like other creatures like us that are living there.

Yeah, like I was very competitive since a child.

Like I loved to suffer.

Like I was really like a...

Loving, like, just to get out and push my body.

And it's not many kids that like to do that, especially, like, as teenagers.

I love to go out and cycle for six, seven hours.

And my dream was, like, an uphill that never ended.

I just wanted to be climbing on my bike or running in an uphill forever.

And so I was going with grown-ups.

Like, all my friends doing that were, like, in their 30s or 40s because it's what... Not many kids like it to...

to go and do that.

And I remember many days I was going to school running and it was like 16 miles one way.

And I think I just loved that feeling of pushing the body.

I think it's our, like, nature to explore.

We explore landscapes.

It's also about exploring ourselves.

And probably my curiosity went there on trying to explore my body to understand it better, to understand how this physiology works.

And that I did it at university.

I remember, well, I was just telling a friend, like, OK, you take all my food from my dorm.
