1
The time passes for us all.
2
When we take care of the time that takes place, we realize how much life is precious.
3
And in general, when something comes to 6 years old, We realize how much life can suddenly fall.
4
And I think it's not necessary to wait for something to live plainly.
5
When I chose to live an adventure life, I wanted to develop this feeling of living several lives in one.
6
For me, it's the essence of the journey.
7
This little boy, it's me, little Dimitri.
8
I had about three years.
9
Three years have passed.
10
Today I have 34 years.
11
I'm Dimitri Poffet, I grew up in the North of France.
12
I've been five years ago, I made a genetic test and I learned that I was positive to the Huntington's disease.
13
A disease neurodegenerative rare and incurable.
14
The studies show that I should develop the first symptoms between 35 and 40 years old.
15
When I learned to be porter of this gene, I sold all the material that I had.
16
I left my work in the bank at Paris, I left my apartment and my country to make my dream, to travel to four corners of the world.
17
And it's this rich experience that made me realize what I wanted in my life.
18
To live my passion, not only for me, but also for people in need.
19
So, two years ago, I bought a bike and started a trip in solitary from Mexico to Patagon.
20
A journey of 18.000 km.
21
And I called this project Explore for Huntington.
22
The idea is to be able to collect and collect funds for the disease,
23
but also to meet the whole network of Huntington's disease in Latin America to connect together together.
24
Like that, I contribute to something sacred.
25
The espoir.
26
My advice is the following.
27
The disease has no boundaries, and we all need to collaborate.
28
Huntington is a neurodegenerative, genetic and hereditary.
29
My father was born from this disease, and it's him who has transmitted the gene defective to my sister and me.
30
When a parent is a child's child, the probability of the transmitting to his child is 50%.
31
The current symptoms include difficulties of concentration, problems of memory, movements involontarily, problems of digestion, depression, and many psychiatric troubles.
32
The people who are sick of the disease She usually has symptoms between 35 and 50 years old.
33
But there are also cases of Huntington Juvenile.
34
My sister started to develop symptoms when she was 13.
35
Today, she has 42 years old.
36
And she's symptoms are grave.
37
She has lost autonomy in everyday life.
38
She suffers from important problems psychiatriques.
39
She's enfermated in her room since the beginning of the disease.
40
And she doesn't see a person, not even a doctor.
41
She can even make it aggressive.
42
Today, there is no curative treatment.
43
And I hope that more people will talk about it, the research will progress.
44
And the more it will progress, the more there will be hope for a treatment.
45
The disease remains a little bit.
46
And it's true that the prevalence is relatively low, with about 5 cases for 100.000 individuals in Europe.
47
In Chile, a country of 19,5 million inhabitants, we officially recense 380 sick.
48
But these are official numbers, and there are a lot more.
49
In most countries, the disease is still known, and it's very difficult to identify all the patients.
50
In Latin America, few people have access to genetic tests.
51
So, few people can take their precautions to not propagate this gene.
52
It's one of the most touched areas of the disease in Huntington's world disease.
53
That's why I chose to take my trip here.
54
Good afternoon, Maricé.
55
How are you?
56
Everything is fine?
57
I am Dimitri.
58
I am French.
59
And I am here to meet you.
60
We have to move forward and try to deliver the best quality of the life possible.
61
It has been hard, but we have been able to go ahead and survive.
62
With love, affection, affection.
63
Do you want to go to Patagonia?
64
With the family.
65
Yes?
66
Like it's a rare disease, with your husband, with your children, we tend to feel alone and isolated.
67
I visit people who are infected by the disease to share their hope.
68
Sometimes, I see in them part of my future, some symptoms that I might have too.
69
But I focus on the beauty of these meetings, on the phone.
70
I want to show you through this project that no one is alone and that there is a international community.
71
Give us a hug.
72
Give us a hug.
73
Give us a hug.
74
And how do you say in French a hug?
75
A hug.
76
A hug.
77
A hug.
78
A hug.
79
We all have to be honest with you.
80
We managed to control a lot of things throughout history, but not the time.
81
Controlling the time, it's just a fantasy.
82
And at the end, we all have to do an adventure.
83
Not to control the time that passes, but to change the perception.
84
The life is so comfortable that most people don't feel the need to get out of their zone.
85
And yet when you do it, I believe you really feel what it is to be able to do.
86
And for me, it's like this trip.
87
A wonderful way to feel alive.
88
It connects you to the beauty of human relations.
89
I've been doing literally all the corrida from the south of Colombia to Chile.
90
So it's a lot of climbing, it's about 150.000 meters of level.
91
And with all the weight I have to carry on the bike, sometimes it's very difficult.
92
I met so many incredible people during this adventure.
93
I rarely felt alone.
94
I've crossed the borders and seen dozens of different cultures.
95
And I saw that before belonging to a country or culture, we had to have simple attributes.
96
The The
97
The I'm not going to go to the world.
98
I'm not going to go to the world.
99
I'm not going to go to the world.
100
In the opposite way, we don't have any experience.
101
It's part of us, never.
102
To go to Latin America, it's not always easy, I believe.
103
At some times I even wanted to leave.
104
But I never had to leave my arms.
105
And you know why?
106
Because in every difficult situation, I thought to all of them touch a symptom.
107
And it was them who gave me the strength of my heart.
108
Thank you for blessing me.
109
Thank you for coming.
110
Thank you for coming.
111
I was able to go to the south, I saw a metamorphosis of nature.
112
Plus I was moving towards the heart of Patagonia, plus the leaves were going to their own colors.
113
The forests passed from the orange to the orange, and from the orange to the orange.
114
The end of my journey approached me, and nature was given a spectacle.
115
The End
116
The End
117
The adventure is something powerful.
118
because there is no certainty.
119
It's a constant reflection on what she is doing.
120
In the adventure, you decide what are your own limits.
121
Pousser au delà de ta zone de confort, c'est fascinant.
122
Et surtout quand tu fais face à la nature.
123
Pourquoi on escalade des montagnes ?
124
Pourquoi on randonne quand il fait froid ou quand il pleut ?
125
Moi je pense que l'aventure c'est un moteur inné que beaucoup ont oublié.
126
Because everything is becoming so comfortable, so perfectly controlled.
127
But we need the uncertainty of adventure to understand who we are really.
128
And when we live in nature, we come back to the essence of life.
129
We start to valorize the most simple things, and the simple fact of having water, food, or someone with who we are, becomes a treasure.
130
And that's how we understand the value of life.
131
And the value of the present.
132
The idea is to reach the valley, to reach the glacier, to put our yellows, always with a safe step as possible.
133
We're going to be there, in the patio of the Torres del Paine.
134
Perfect.
135
In traveling and living like that, I want to see the day when the disease is declared I don't regret anything.
136
The adventure becomes a way to feel fully alive.
137
It becomes a way, even for an instant, to stop the tic tac of the horloge of my life.
138
Life is the most beautiful of the cadeau.
139
And today, it's the present.
140
The End
141
I'm sorry.
142
I'm sorry.
143
I'm sorry.
144
I'm sorry.
145
I'm sorry.
146
I'm sorry.
147
I'm sorry.
148
How do you go?
149
How do you go?
150
Until now?
151
If the sky is asleep I'm a human,
152
I've changed that, that's normal.
153
oh oh Where are you?
154
How is your way? Where are you?
155
He gave you us He gave you us
156

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
