To his great surprise, the chicken was notonly the perfect companion for the journey, but his red-feathered friend was perfectly at ease and ready for a new adventure: the frozen waters of Greenland.Guirec'sgrowing popularity landed him on the front page of newspapers across the world, enabling himto find sponsors to help finance his project with the online platformUlule.

Finally, Guirec followed his dream of living in complete isolation, essentially imprisoned for eight months amidst the great Arctic glaciers with three months of total darkness.

But he always had his chicken friend Monique to keep him company in his loneliest hours.

He was living the dream - the journey of a lifetime with a partner who presented him with fresh eggs!

The young man hopes that his adventures will send a powerful message to those of all ages, proving that with "will and determination", you can reach your goals and achieve even the craziest of dreams:

I hope that my journey will inspire those who have a dream but not quite enough confidence in themselves, those who don't dare or are scared of getting out of their comfort zone, to go for it!
