French backpacker trying to travel around the world without money relying on 'big hearts' in Northern Ireland
Charles Attonaty has been touched by the kindness of people like Ciaran McNichol with children Connie and Freddie
The 29-year-old recently pitched up his tent in the rural village of Glenullin, at the foot of the Sperrin Mountains. Ciaran McNichol said that he returned home from work one day, as he has done countless times before, but on this occasion found a complete stranger in his home. "It's not for everybody - hats off to him, he is very brave to come out on a journey like that with just nothing in his pockets," Mr McNichol said.Charles' travelling rules mean he does not ask for food and does not ask to sleep in people's houses
"I decided to leave all my comforts, I left all my friends, my family, my flat and my job - everything."Charles said he handed over his successful food delivery company in Normandy to one of his former employees and has never looked back.
