Very early the distant attracts Jacques Crickillon, and different missions allow him to travel, sometimes during extended stays the planet. He was able to accumulate as quickly as possible the diverse experiences, started from Africa, from Egypt to Zaire, from Uganda to Rwanda to Burundi, and to Asia, particularly to Cambodia and Nepal.
