My name is Chmouel (or Samuel) Boudjnah and i am from Paris, France. While i grew up and spent most of my life in Paris i lived as well for a while in Los Angeles and San Francisco, went wandering around the world during 2 years and moved to the beautiful Sydney, Australia and Melbourne, Australia for 4 years and another 4 years in London. I am now happy to be back in Paris!

My first name is a real name not a pseudo computer nickname it's the hebrew version of Samuel (or Shmuel in English or שמואל in Hebrew alphabet) writen in French. A lot of people call me Chmouel or Samuel i answer to both and i don't mind being called either :-)

My mother tongue language is obviously Le Français but i do speak as well fluently English and can have a good conversation in Ivrit, Español and Italiano. I also know how to say few words in bunch of languages and can read Greek and Cyrillic alphabets (and obviously as well Hebrew).

I contribute mostly to WikiPedia by pictures. I took most of the pictures while i was travelling. Nota Bene: that i am not a professional photographer i do this mostly for pleasure (my father he is though).

You can check out all the pictures and all the stories about the traveling I have done on my website :
