My name is Tintin and I come from Belgium. I became a journalist because I love adventure. With my dog Snowy, I visited many countries and together we travelled all around the world: to India, (to) Congo, (to) Scotland, ... We even went to the Moon! I met my best friend, Captain Haddock, when I was investigating drug trafficking in Africa. Now, the captain lives in Marlinspike Hall. He was able to buy this estate with the pirate Rackham the Red's treasure, but that is another story!

Clever stuff happening!
