For Christian Bonnet, a French former computer scientist turned globetrotter, Tibet wasn’t just a destination – it was a childhood fantasy brought to life. Inspired by the comic Tintin in Tibet, he finally trekked to China’s Tibet Autonomous Region in 2010, fulfilling a lifelong dream.
🗺️ “The warmth of the people and the spirituality – it stays with you,” Bonnet recalled of his 12-day adventure. While marveling at Mount Qomolangma (known as Everest globally) left him awestruck, he says the region’s cultural heartbeat left the deepest impression.
His journey mirrors a modern fairytale: from flipping comic book pages as a kid to navigating Himalayan trails as an adult. For young adventurers and culture enthusiasts, Bonnet’s story proves some dreams only get bigger with time. 🌍✈️
